title: Bone mass measurement using a xenon-filled multiwire proportional counter as detector.
abstract: The application of a xenon-filled multiwire proportional counter to photon absorptiometry of bone mass is described. Performance characteristics obtained from a prototype system are discussed and future developments indicated.
