Medical Imaging Techniques and Applications

A large acceptance Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector has been constructed for use at the CERN Omega Spectrometer. The design of the detector is discussed, with attention paid to its principal components, and preliminary results are given which show that the detector is capable of identifying pions, kaons and protons at 80 GeVc.
