  • Antiparticle of the electron
  • General properties
  • Detection of positron emissions, either directly or via gamma rays produced as a side effect, useful for tomographic imaging
    • Most commonly applied in medical imaging
    • Also sometimes useful in structural imagine in scenarios where positrons are emitted within a structure (DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: Cathedral)
