In vitro resolution testing of the positron probe with a fluorine-18 point source at 1-mm distance from the point source. Use of a 60-μm thin plastic cover (black circles) decreased sensitivity by roughly one-third compared with uncovered measurements (black triangles). Lead shielding (white circles) demonstrates the insensitivity of the positron probe to penetrating 511-keV photons
