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.

Development of a Lensless Radiomicroscope for Cellular-Resolution Radionuclide Imaging
GUEST: Bernd Pichler, Tübingen
In this episode we learn how a new lensless microscope, costing just $100 (!), can be used to evaluate radiotracer retention in cells, and discuss potential applications for this revolutionary new technology with our famous guest Bernd Pichler. We discuss how this, and other technologies, could be used to assess the heterogeneous cell populations of the tumour microenvironment and identify cell senescence using new radiotracers developed in Bernd’s lab.
Selected Publication: "Development of a Lensless Radiomicroscope for Cellular-Resolution Radionuclide Imaging" published in Journal of Nuclear Medicine by the authors Justin S. Klein, Tae Jin Kim and Guillem Pratx (Physical Oncology Lab at Stanford Medicine).
