Abstract
Several medical applications utilizing antiprotons stored and transpor ted in a portable Penning trap are considered. These include productio n of radioisotopes for PET, radiography and radiotherapy. Specificatio ns of a portable antiproton trap suitable for this work are discussed, and progress on the development of such a trap is reported.
