The Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) provide excellent timing aswell as position resolutions at relatively low cost. Therefore, they can beused in medical imaging applications such as PET where precise timing is acrucial parameter of measurement. We have designed and fabricated severalsix-gap glass MRPCs and extensively studied their performance. In this paper,we describe the fabrication and characterization of the detector, theelectronics and the data acquisition system of the setup. We present here theresult of our Time Of Flight (TOF) experiment using a radioactive source Na-22hence to demonstrate their potential applications in medical imaging. We alsopresent the Geant4 based simulation results on the efficiency of our detectoras a function of the number of gaps and thickness of the converter material.
