Positron imaging technique is a new technology that enables to observe the materials transportation in living things using RI tracer labeled with a positron-emitting nuclide. In the positron imaging, a pair of annihilation gamma rays, generated by pair annihilation of a positron with an electron, are detected coincidently. In medical, positron emission tomography (PET) is used in a diagnostic imaging of cancer as a powerful tool. Plant positron imaging system is using the same measurement principle with PET and is developed as a device specialized for research on plants.
