Voices of Experience with Dianne Keen

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.

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.
