During its first year in orbit the INTEGRAL observatory performed deep
exposures of the Galactic Center region and scanning observations of the
Galactic plane. We report on the status of our analysis of the positron
annihilation radiation from the 4th Galactic quadrant with the spectrometer
SPI, focusing on the sky distribution of the 511 keV line emission. The
analysis methods are described; current constraints and limits on the Galactic
bulge emission and the bulge-to-disk ratio are presented.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in the proceedings of
