Perspectives on translation of positronium imaging into clinics

The image of positronium properties created in the patient’s body during PET examination tells about the inter- and intra-molecular structure of the tissue and the concentration of bio-active molecules in the tissue [2–4]. In this article, we advocate the opinion that total-body PET systems, thanks...

description The image of positronium properties created in the patient’s body during PET examination tells about the inter- and intra-molecular structure of the tissue and the concentration of bio-active molecules in the tissue [2–4]. In this article, we advocate the opinion that total-body PET systems, thanks to their high imaging sensitivity and high time resolution, open up the prospect of translating positronium imaging into clinics.
