Dive into Imaging Science
This is the Podcast of the Europen Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI).
Pour yourself a nice glass of wine and join us as we delve into the recent literature, and perhaps learn a little from the minds that have shaped the field.
The premise is really simple: Each time we invite one senior academic to discuss their favourite publication from the recent literature. We’ll find out what caught their eye, and why it is worth taking a closer look at this particular publication. Along the way, we will learn their publication strategies and possibly even glimpse into the future of this amazing field of research.

Positronium imaging with the novel multiphoton PET scanner
GUEST: Simon Cherry, UC Davis
In this episode we discuss (and learn a lot about!) positronium imaging with the co-inventor of Total Body PET, the wonderful Simon Cherry, the physics behind positronium formation, and how it might provide further biological information than standard positron emission tomography imaging. We learnt about Simon’s journey that led him to change the field of clinical PET imaging and what new innovations he has up his sleeve... and if you are looking for a research area that is just waiting to be explored - listen carefully!
