Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, the Voices of Experience with Dianne Keen podcast is the perfect way to stay informed, inspired, and connected with the radiology community. Tune in for insightful and engaging conversations that you won't want to miss!
The conversation will cover: - Site-neutral payments - Continued reimbursement pressures _ Where advocacy made a difference - What these decisions could mean for patient access
In this Voices of Experience conversation, Dianne Keen is joined by Dr. Robyn Roth , a board-certified breast radiologist known as The Boobie Docs , to explore what happens when clinical expertise meets social media. Dr. Roth shares how honest, personal storytelling can help patients connect with complex health information, and why clinicians have a responsibility to use their influence carefully in a feed that can reward sensational claims.
In this Voices of Experience episode, Dianne Keen is joined by Kurt Schoppe, President at RANT , for an honest conversation about what radiology leaders miss when every day becomes an exercise in simply getting through the next shift. As imaging volume rises, workforce pressure intensifies, and AI dominates the conversation, Kurt argues that the biggest risk is not the noise itself. It is staying trapped in the immediate. Together, they explore why radiology’s toughest problems cannot be solved by short-term fixes alone. From burnout caused by “a thousand tiny insults” to the misapplication of AI tools that do not truly support physician workflow, Kurt lays out a more strategic path forward—one built on scenario planning, better orchestration of technology, stronger change management, and a commitment to keeping radiology decisions in radiologists’ hands.
Policy decisions affecting radiology do not start in the reading room, but they absolutely end there. In this special Voices of Experience conversation, Dianne Keen is joined by Amy Patel, MD, and Kimberly Beavers, MD , two breast imaging radiologists who have spent years turning physician experience into policy action. Together, they explore why advocacy matters, how relationships with lawmakers shape patient access, and why waiting until a rule is final is already too late. From Medicare reimbursement pressure to breast imaging coverage legislation, this episode shows what advocacy looks like when it moves beyond complaint and into action. Dr. Patel shares how Missouri’s screening legislation helped drive a 9% increase in mammography utilization among women with Medicaid , while both guests explain why patient stories often move policy more effectively than talking points alone. As Dr. Patel notes, 94% of federal elected officials are not in healthcare, which makes physician education, visibility, and participation essential.
In this timely Voices of Experience conversation, Dianne Keen, FRBMA is joined by Kit Crancer, SVP of Public Policy at RAYUS, for a deeper look at the 2027 CMS proposed rules and what the headlines may be missing. Together, they unpack how MPFS conversion factor cuts, specialty-table offsets, and sweeping OPPS site-neutral proposals could affect radiology practices very differently depending on setting, modality mix, and payer dynamics.
In this episode of Next In Line , Dianne Keen is joined by Allisar Charara, Sales Leader at StreamlineMD , for an honest conversation about what it means to grow into leadership early. Starting her career fresh out of college and quickly moving into complex conversations across radiology software, EHR, and revenue cycle management, Allisar shares what it looks like to keep learning in public while earning credibility in a fast-moving industry. Together, they explore the pressures emerging leaders face, from imposter syndrome and generational bias to the challenge of communicating across different leadership styles. The conversation also highlights the role of mentors, the power of finding your why, and why seasoned leaders need to stay open to new voices, new expectations, and new ways of connecting.
In this Voices of Experience conversation, Dianne Keen, FRBMA is joined by Matt Ostrum, Chief Development Officer at MBMS, LLC , for a practical look at what work travel really demands in radiology—from pre-conference strategy and brand representation to the relationship-building that turns a packed agenda into real business value.
In this Voices of Experience episode, Dianne Keen, FRBMA is joined by Megan Stuff, COO at Southwest Medical Imaging , for a practical conversation on MRI safety, operational leadership, and what it takes to build a culture that stays proactive in high-risk environments. Drawing on Megan's journey from X-ray student to COO, this discussion explores how strong imaging organizations treat safety as a daily discipline, not a reaction to a bad day.
In this episode of Voices of Experience , host Dianne Keen speaks with Jack McBride, CEO at OnQ Global, about how patient access is evolving and what it takes to support patients when staffing is limited. Jack shares insights from more than a decade of building global call center operations and technology for radiology and revenue cycle leaders.
Independent radiology practices are facing intense pressure: declining reimbursements, a nationwide radiologist shortage, escalating salary offers, and constant questions about whether to stay independent or sell to private equity. In this episode of Voices of Experience , host Dianne Keen is joined by Brian Van Eck , Chief Strategy Officer at Radiology Associates of North Texas (RANT) , to explore what it really looks like to build private practice at scale—without giving up control. Over the past decade, Brian has had a front‑row seat as RANT grew from 110 radiologists to nearly 300, becoming the largest wholly physician‑owned radiology group in the country. Rather than selling to a consolidator, RANT chose a different path: combining with like‑minded practices across Texas, building the infrastructure to support them, and saying “no” quickly when the culture or strategy wasn’t the right fit.Together, Dianne and Brian dig into how RANT thinks about consolidation, culture, recruiting, hospital partnerships, and technology, and what other groups can learn as they navigate their own growth decisions.
