Diagnostic Imaging's A Look Ahead: April 19, 2021, to April 25, 2021
Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.
In this week’s preview, here are some highlights of what you can expect to see coming soon:
The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) is holding its 2021 Virtual Annual meeting this week. There will be a wide variety of sessions touching on all models, as well as award winners who will be recognized for their contributions to the field. Look for our ongoing coverage of the conference this week.

Interoperability and information-blocking guidelines set out by the Office of the National Coordinator went into effect earlier this month on April 5. Despite news coverage of these regulations, many in healthcare, including imaging facilities, were not prepared and are still not in compliance. Diagnostic Imaging spoke with Matthew Michela, chief executive officer of Life Image, about the reasons behind this lag in compliance, what it means for the industry, and what providers can do to fall in line with the regulations. Look for our podcast with him later this week.

Photon-Counting Computed Tomography: Eleven Takeaways from a New Literature Review
May 27th 2025In a review of 155 studies, researchers examined the capabilities of photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) for enhanced accuracy, tissue characterization, artifact reduction and reduced radiation dosing across thoracic, abdominal, and cardiothoracic imaging applications.
Can a Six-Minute MRI Facilitate Detection of Multiple Sclerosis?
May 23rd 2025Recognition of the central vein sign with a six-minute MRI demonstrated comparable sensitivity for multiple sclerosis (MS) detection in comparison to oligoclonal band (OCB) assessment, which requires lumbar puncture, according to newly published research.
