Substances that decay by positron emission are injected and allowed to circulate. The positrons annihilate with electrons in the body, which emits gamma rays traveling in opposite directions that get detected. Dark Gnat, you're thinking of PET.

The Crystal becomes the focal point where the matter/anti-matter injectors fire. The crystals then combine and refract the beam in to the Warp Core. Kinda like the reverse of a light prism. Instead of only one beam of light hitting the prism and refracting into mutiple beams of light.. it does the exact opposite. Takes 2 beams of in-compatable energy, combines them to make a single stable beam of energy and fires into the warp core chamber... and voila, you have warp power!!" So what keeps the antimatter from blowing up the dilithium? Okay I found this:

I hope other suitable candidate clusters are now being observed or are planned to be surveyed !

Antimatter can be used for propulsion purposes. This is a quest which will lead to advances. Kudos on search. Antimatter can be used for propulsion purposes.
