Has the term Diagnostic Medical Imaging officially replaced the term Radiology?

I first became familiar with the terms “Diagnostic Imaging” and “Medical Imaging” in the mid to late 1980s. I think that since imaging is no longer made up solely of x-ray based modalities, calling it radiology could be perceived as being somewhat archaic or reactionary. Diagnostic Medical Imaging is probably more reflective of what really goes on and the technology that is used than “radiology”.
