    For what purposes can we use antimatter?

    Question #96049. Asked by author. (May 25 08 9:08 PM)

    		Medical and fuel.

    Antimatter-matter reactions have practical applications in medical imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET). In positive beta decay, a nuclide loses surplus positive charge by emitting a positron (in the same event, a proton becomes a neutron, and neutrinos are also given off). Nuclides with surplus positive charge are easily made in a cyclotron and are widely generated for medical use.
