In this episode, we begin with a brief introduction of our podcasters, Tom DeSilvio, Brennan Flannery, Yash Singh, and Ghazal Zandieh, before welcoming Dr. Gary Luker, Editor‑in‑Chief of the RSNA journal, Radiology: Imaging Cancer. Our goal is to showcase and better introduce the journal while highlighting the future of individualized cancer imaging. Dr. Luker joins us to discuss how advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, and translational research are transforming personalized cancer care.

Dr. Brandon K.K. Fields speaks with Dr. Jennifer Holter-Chakrabarty about her groundbreaking research on fluorine-18 fluorothymidine (FLT) PET in the imaging of gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Together, they explore a potential future role for FLT-PET in detection of early and/or subclinical GVHD, which may serve to guide future treatment strategies for transplant patients in years to come.
