As ultrasound departments face rising exam volumes, increasingly complex patient populations, and heightened expectations around efficiency and staff well-being, the definition of a “best-in-class” system is evolving fast. For this Director’s Circle roundtable, ICE Magazine asked industry leaders to discuss what truly matters when evaluating ultrasound technology in 2026 — from image quality and AI assistance to ergonomics, serviceability and long-term value.

ICE Magazine invited imaging leaders to participate in this month’s Director’s Circle feature on X-ray technologies in diagnostic imaging. Topics touched on in this discussion include the latest technology, how to evaluate systems, dose reduction and more. Participants in the article are:

Rapid advances and shifts in technology and ongoing staffing pressures call for imaging leaders to rethink how they train and support their teams. For this Director’s Circle article, ICE Magazine asked imaging leaders at three healthcare facilities how training expectations have evolved, what indicators matter most when selecting education programs and how new learning models are being used to strengthen workforce readiness across every modality. Participants in the article are:

Ultrasound probes, also called transducers, are devices that emit and receive high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body structures. They come in various shapes and sizes, with common types including linear for superficial structures like thyroids and breasts, curvilinear (or convex) for deeper imaging like abdominal organs, and phased array for applications requiring a narrow field of view, such as cardiac imaging.

ICE Magazine gathered insights from radiology directors and imaging leaders for a roundtable article focused on the patient experience in imaging. Insiders were able to share their thoughts regarding patient experience to highlight strategies, successes and challenges across the industry.

Women’s imaging is one of the most dynamic and evolving areas in healthcare, with advances in technology, patient-centered care, and population health initiatives shaping its future. Radiology and imaging directors are at the forefront of these changes, working to expand access, improve outcomes, and enhance the patient experience.

In this issue of ICE Magazine, experts share insights and tips regarding imaging parts. ICE Magazine invited several imaging service directors to participate and share their imaging parts knowledge with readers.

Safety is an important aspect of healthcare delivery and that includes the safety of the patients, providers and everyone involved. ICE Magazine contacted several radiology/imaging safety experts to participate in this roundtable-type article.
