Machine learning, PACS, workflow automation, and the future of the reading room.
The ACR Council approved the ACR-SIIM Practice Parameter for Imaging Artificial Intelligence at ACR 2026. The guidance covers AI selection, predeployment testing, monitoring, governance, and privacy.
Researchers used a deep-learning model to analyze paraspinal muscle composition on whole-body MRI in 11,348 adults without known preexisting conditions.
Viz.ai and the National Rural Health Association launched an initiative to help rural hospitals understand and implement AI tools for disease detection, specialist coordination, and time-sensitive care pathways.
SimonMed Imaging has introduced optional AI-enabled add-ons for routine CT and MRI exams. The services include Calcium Score+, CT Bone Density, and MR Lumbar Spine+, with patient-facing reports and navigation support.
A JAMA Network Open study found that the Mirai deep-learning model predicted 5-year breast cancer risk more accurately than breast density alone, potentially helping target supplemental imaging.
Essen Health Care has introduced RADIN Health, an all-in-one radiology cloud platform for RIS and PACS workflows. The platform uses AI across patient engagement, scheduling, image sharing, reporting, and follow-up tracking.
Calidar completed enrollment in a first-in-human study of its investigational 4D Mammography system at Baptist Health Hardin. The trial enrolled 61 patients and will now move into data analysis.
Avatar Medical received FDA 510(k) clearance for Avatar Medical Vision, a software platform for 3D CT and MR image processing, review, and surgical planning across standard displays, glasses-free 3D, and VR.
HOPPR introduced the MC Chest Radiography Narrative Model, a vision-language model that converts frontal and lateral chest X-rays into structured narrative text for radiology workflow applications.
SimonMed selected AIRS Medical’s SwiftMR as its enterprise-wide MRI enhancement platform. The FDA-cleared software will be deployed across SimonMed’s national outpatient imaging network.
The expanded collaboration adds DeepHealth Breast Suite applications to GE HealthCare mammography systems, including Pristina Via.
SwiftMR can now operate with OEM deep-learning reconstruction pipelines to add scan-time reduction or extend AI image enhancement to more MRI sequences.
The AI-powered spectral CT system uses a third-generation dual-layer detector and deep-learning reconstruction engine.
Version 1.2 of Lunit INSIGHT DBT adds current-prior comparison, selectable operating thresholds, and access to Volpara Scorecard density measures.
Bunkerhill Contrast CAC and Bunkerhill Contrast AVC detect and quantify coronary artery calcium and aortic valve calcium on non-gated, contrast-enhanced chest CT scans.
