The nuclear and elementary particle physics advances during the last century and the technological development produced a number of valuable medical imaging and therapeutical techniques. Today new methods are under investigation in order to improve our arsenal against the diseases. Such a new method is using antiprotons for therapeutical and imaging techniques. The underlying physics is discussed and the current scientific studies on this subject are reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
