State Legislative Bills Report
As most state legislatures end their 2025 sessions and look to 2026, ACR staff is looking at how some radiology-specific bills they tracked fared this year.
Read moreMore than 30 Dose Index Registry (DIR) participants have fully transitioned from the TRIAD site server to the ACR Connect software system and are actively using DIR Link — the next-generation data transmission application — to send radiation dose information to DIR. Another 45 sites are on the path to active DIR Link use. Thank you to the facility team members who volunteered as early adopters of the enhanced data transmission technology. Your time and commitment will prove invaluable to all DIR participants.
The ACR® team supporting the DIR Link transition project is excited to now ramp up the rollout after discovering and resolving several technological issues and ensuring successful installations at multiple facilities. The team anticipates having DIR Link installed across all NRDR® accounts by the end of the year.
How can your facility get ready to transition?
