Must-Follow Radiology Websites

Among the standout sites in 2026, AI for Radiology deserves special attention. Beyond covering AI applied to diagnostic imaging, the site maintains Project AIR, a clearinghouse for algorithm testing. CTisUs, created by Dr. Elliott Fishman, remains a world-class reference for CT educational content.

Radiopaedia continues to be indispensable, with thousands of radiology cases from a global perspective. For data-driven market analysis, Signify Research delivers detailed reports on diagnostic imaging trends. The radHQ.net Forums serve as a real-time pulse check on what keeps radiologists up at night — from workload concerns to questions about the future role of the radiologist in the AI era.

The Medality Radiology Report Podcast, hosted by CEO Daniel Arnold, brings interviews with the biggest names in medical imaging. And RadAccess, a newsletter by Dr. Campbell Arnold, focuses on improving radiology access in underserved communities.

Key Opinion Leaders in AI and Imaging IT

Curt Langlotz, MD, PhD, is often the first place experts turn for imaging AI context — his commentary balances enthusiasm with scientific rigor. Laura Heacock, MD, stands out for her research on AI advances in cancer screening, while Woojin Kim, MD, provides impeccable curation of the most relevant AI publications.

Herman Oosterwijk remains the definitive authority on DICOM standards and enterprise imaging. On the clinical side, Nina Kottler, MD, delivers frontline insights, and Amine Korchi, MD, combines clinical vision with AI business acumen. Pranav Rajpurkar, PhD, brings the perspective of an entrepreneur at the intersection of data science and diagnostic imaging.

Bernardo Bizzo, MD, PhD, senior director of MGB AI Business, provides valuable expertise at the global level. Other standout voices include Christoph Agten, MD, an emerging European voice on AI’s radiology impact, and John Kalafut, PhD, a former vendor executive now sharing deep AI wisdom.

Business, Regulatory, and Legal Experts

Reza Zahiri publishes detailed LinkedIn posts that deconstruct the financial positions of major imaging vendors — essential reading for practice managers. Jan Beger, an OEM executive, shares high-level thoughts on how AI reshapes manufacturer strategies. Morris Panner, an imaging IT executive, offers cogent takes on the intersection of technology and patient care.

On the regulatory side, Sandy Coffta is the go-to source for U.S. reimbursement changes — increasingly relevant as the global diagnostic imaging market expands. Tobias Gilk remains radiology’s conscience on MRI safety, while Hugh Harvey, MD, provides solid perspectives on AI regulation. Tom Greeson and Mark Weiss cover legal issues directly affecting radiology practice.

Practice Management and Leadership

Rich Duszak, MD, is an invaluable resource on radiology leadership and responsible imaging use. Geraldine McGinty, MD, continues to serve as radiology’s moral compass — her positions on equity, access, and quality resonate across the community. Jay Gurney, an executive recruiter and podcaster, often identifies industry trends before they make headlines.

Ben White, MD, offers a rare, unfiltered perspective on the daily realities of being a working radiologist. Rasu Shrestha, MD, a radiologist-turned-health-executive, provides a systemic view connecting diagnostic imaging with digital health transformation.

Social Media Shifts in 2026

A defining trend in 2026 is the radiology community’s migration across digital platforms. X (formerly Twitter) lost relevance as engagement dropped. Bluesky briefly attracted KOLs’ attention but enthusiasm faded. LinkedIn emerged as the definitive platform for physicians and executives, favoring longer-form content and professional discussions.

This reflects a broader trend: healthcare professionals seek digital environments that value credentials and high-quality technical content over virality-optimized algorithms. For the radiologist looking to stay informed in 2026, the strategy is clear — follow the right sources on the right platforms.
