July 15, 2026 — Varian, the cancer-care business of Siemens Healthineers, has published the results of its FAST-021 clinical trial, which studied the effect of proton Flash therapy on painful thoracic bone metastases in people with cancer.

July 16, 2026 — Raidium has announced the U.S. launch of Raidium Read (R.Read), applying its AI-native imaging solution initially to oncology research centers. Raidium has already been deployed at Moffitt Cancer Center where it was selected to replace the legacy radiomics tool.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has enhanced diagnostic accuracy and improved triage in radiology. But far fewer tools address the daily inefficiencies that consume a radiologist’s time. “In some ways, detection and triage algorithms can slow radiology down, because we need to track down all of the detections and determine which ones are false and which ones are true,” says Curtis P.

July 15, 2026 — The American College of Radiology (ACR) recently issued a statement praising the inclusion of the Radiology Outpatient Ordering Transmission (ROOT) Act in the Patients First Act, bipartisan legislation introduced in the U.S. House to update Medicare healthcare provider payments.

July 13, 2026 — Neal F. Kassell, MD, founder and chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, received the inaugural Lifetime Impact Award at the 2026 annual meeting of the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) in Norway in June. The award honors individuals whose work has fundamentally shaped the development, adoption and global impact of focused ultrasound.

July 10, 2026 — A new study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai found that although the overall number of radiation oncology clinics in the United States has appeared stable in recent years, many individual treatment centers have quietly closed while others have opened. The closures have disproportionately affected rural and freestanding practices, reducing access to lifesaving radiation therapy for patients to receive lifesaving cancer treatment close to home.

July 9, 2026 — Viz.ai has announced a collaboration with Cortechs.ai to integrate Cortechs.ai's NeuroQuant and NeuroQuant MS suite into the Viz.ai platform, expanding access to quantitative neuroimaging for hospitals and health systems across the U.S. This partnership marks Viz.ai's expansion into neurodegenerative disease, growing Viz Neuro Suite beyond its neuro offerings.
