The MRI Safety Myth: “No Radiation” Doesn’t Mean No Risk with Tobias Gilk
30/07/2026 | 25 mins.
In this episode of Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Tobias Gilk, a world renowned healthcare architect and certified MRI safety expert. Moving beyond the standard industry assumption that MRI is entirely risk free due to its lack of ionizing radiation, Gilk pulls back the curtain on the critical, unique physical hazards lurking inside the magnet room. From analyzing tragic projectile accidents to tracing why modern imaging workflows are fundamentally broken, this conversation explores how true safety in radiology requires rethinking the architecture of patient screening from the ground up.
Medical Imaging Professionals Need More Than Recognition: They Need Influence with Brandon Smith
23/07/2026 | 47 mins.
In this episode of Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Brandon Smith, the historic first-ever back-to-back sitting president of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT). Moving past the typical industry discussions around staff shortages, Brandon challenges the medical imaging community to reject quiet martyrdom, step out from behind the "ancillary" shadow, and transition from mere volunteerism to aggressive professional advocacy.
Why Most Radiology AI Fails: Workflow, Governance & Integration Problem with Tessa Cook
09/07/2026 | 42 mins.
In this episode of Frame by Frame: Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Dr. Tessa Cook, Vice Chair of Practice Transformation and Director of the Imaging Informatics Fellowship at Penn Medicine.
Moving beyond the standard industry hype surrounding artificial intelligence, Dr. Cook pulls back the curtain on the critical infrastructure required to make advanced technology actually work on the clinical front lines. From pioneering open-source radiation dose tracking to designing enterprise-wide patient follow-up systems, this conversation explores how true innovation in radiology always starts with solving the workflow problem, not just writing better code.
Photon Counting CT Could Revolutionize Diagnostic Radiology
25/06/2026 | 40 mins.
In this episode of Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Dr. Aaron Sodickson, Division Chief of Emergency Radiology at Mass General Brigham and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, to pull back the curtain on how advanced CT technology is transforming patient care.
Moving from standard grayscale imaging to full-body photon counting scanner operations, Dr. Sodickson reveals what it takes to bring cutting-edge clinical technology out of the development lab and onto the front lines of emergency medicine. From slicing patient radiation dose in half to wiping out diagnostic uncertainty, this conversation explores the massive leap forward in clinical radiology.
Medical Physics in Rural Hospitals: Higher Dose, Lower Resources, Bigger Stakes
11/06/2026 | 36 mins.
In this episode of Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Jill Shuman, a board-certified diagnostic medical physicist at the Marshfield Clinic, to pull back the curtain on the gritty reality of rural healthcare.
Far removed from the massive budgets of big academic institutions, Jill oversees imaging safety and quality across a broad network of underserved facilities in Wisconsin and Michigan. From fighting "break-fix" budget constraints to navigating the quality risks of a 100% traveler technologist workforce, Jill reveals what it truly takes to protect patient lives in a system that wasn’t built for small towns.
