Özet

A novel technology based on photon counting gaseous detectors has been developed for medical X-ray imaging applications. The technology allows a significant dose reduction over existing screen-film systems. A position resolution of 50 mum has been observed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
