Rethink Imaging

In this episode of Frame by Frame: Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Jason Schneck, CEO of One Physics, to unpack how medical physics is evolving as care shifts beyond hospital walls. Jason shares a frontline view of how outpatient expansion, workforce shortages, regulatory complexity, and emerging technologies like molecular imaging and theranostics are reshaping the role of medical physicists. He explains why the profession remains underrecognized, how consolidation and outsourcing are not threats but structural responses to modern care delivery, and why flexibility, scale, and advocacy are becoming essential to patient safety and quality imaging.

In this episode of Frame by Frame: Rethink Imaging, Chris St. John speaks with Dr. Ian Weissman, a nationally recognized radiology leader and advocate for clinician wellness, patient-centered care, and workforce strategies. Ian breaks down how the U.S. shortage of 1,500 radiologists is reshaping imaging workloads, delaying critical studies, and putting pressure on a system that is already stretched thin. Ian shares why increasing imaging volumes, an aging population, burnout, and limited residency funding have collided to create unprecedented strain and how patients are now starting to feel the impact. He also offers practical, human-centered strategies that healthcare organizations and leaders can use today to retain clinicians while long-term solutions like AI and expanded training pipelines evolve.

In this episode, Chris St. John speaks with Dr. Thomas Griglock, former section chief in radiology and associate professor at OHSU, now Executive Director at LUCIR. They explore why medical physicists are overwhelmed by Level 1 regulatory tasks, how this burden limits innovation, and what it means for AI adoption in radiology.

In this episode of Frame by Frame: Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Dr. Kristin Beinschroth, a radiologic technologist and researcher, to explore how moral courage shapes student success, why confidence does not always predict achievement, and what it really takes to prepare the next generation of technologists for the ethical dilemmas they will face in practice. From navigating scope of practice boundaries to standing up to physicians when patient safety is at risk, this episode reveals why moral courage matters in imaging and how educators can cultivate it long before students enter the clinical environment.

In this episode of Frame by Frame: Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Dr. Summer Kaplan, Associate Professor of Clinical Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and pediatric radiologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Together, they explore the six pillars of healthcare quality, safety, timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, equity, and patient-centeredness and how these principles shape modern radiology practice. From balancing efficiency with empathy to defining what “effective” imaging truly means, Dr. Kaplan shares how radiologists can deliver care that is both precise and human.
