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.

Albumin-Binding and Conventional PSMA Ligands in Combination with 161Tb
GUEST: Jason Lewis, New York
In this episode we discuss and learn about new PSMA-binding ligands with 161Tb, their biodistribution, dosimetry, preclinical therapy, and their comparison with conventional PSMA ligands. Our guest is one of the leading scientists in radiochemistry for cancer detection and therapy, the wonderful Jason Lewis.
We talk about the importance of using 161Tb - this novel radionuclide for radioligand therapy - and its favorable decay characteristics as compared to 177Lu. We learn about the added value of the emission of Auger electrons which can effectively eliminate micro-metastasis and when combined with ibuprofen-based PSMA ligands offering albumin-binding properties, tumor uptake and therapeutic efficacy are significantly boosted.
Besides this fascinating science, don't miss some very important advice from a very successful scientist in a very competitive environment about work-life balance, prioritising expectations and goals - just never forget to "smell the roses"…
