Towards dynamic total-body metabolic and positronium imaging, Studies of positronium and microvesicles biomarkers

Abstract During the positron emission tomography about 40% of positrons annihilations occur through the creation of positronium (an atom composed of an electron from tissue and a positron emitted by a radioisotope). Positronium decays in the patient body are sensitive to the nanostructure and metabolism of the tissues. This phenomenon is not used in the…
