Various concentrations (8-300 mmol/L) of NaCl, KCl, and NaCl + KCl aqueous solutions were investigated using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). A strong dependence of the o-Ps intensity as a function of the solution concentration was demonstrated. On this basis, the mean positron lifetime and the sum of counts in a selected time interval were proposed as reliable parameters for detecting disturbances in the ion balance of living organisms. The use of these parameters for differentiating healthy and cancerous tissues allows for the development of auxiliary diagnostic methods in a new generation of PET scanners equipped with a PALS detection module.
