Summary

We report on the progress in the development of positronium imaging and quantum entanglement imaging achieved thus far by the J-PET collaboration. Positronium (a bound state of electron and positron) is copiously produced in the human body during positron emission tomography. Its properties depend on the size of the intra-molecular voids and concentration in them of molecules as e.g. molecular oxygen. Therefore, positronium may serve as a biomarker of tissue pathology and hypoxia. Recently, the positronium imaging method was developed and the first positronium images of phantoms comprised of tumor cardiac myxoma and healthy adipose tissues were created by means of the J-PET tomograph. A significant difference in mean positronium lifetime in cardiac myxoma and adipose tissues opens promisin
