Antimatter can be studied through positron emission tomography from "summary" of Antimatter by Frank Close

Antimatter, the mirror image of normal matter, has intrigued scientists for decades. While it may seem like something out of science fiction, antimatter plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. One way in which scientists have been able to study antimatter is through positron emission tomography, also known as PET scanning. PET scanning involves the use of positrons, which are the antiparticles of electrons. When a positron collides with an electron, both particles are annihilated, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays. These gamma rays can be detected by sensors in a PET scanner, allowing scientists to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. By using PET scanning, researchers can study the behavior of antimatter within living organ...
