Feb. 16, 2026 — Rising demand for breast cancer screening and diagnostics is outpacing the supply of available breast imaging radiologists, putting pressure on access and turnaround times nationwide.

Artificial Intelligence

For the past decade, artificial intelligence's (AI) potential in healthcare has been synonymous with speed. In medical imaging, the logic was straightforward: If technology could analyze images faster than the human eye, cases could be triaged sooner. If software could pre-populate reports, short-staffed radiology teams could move through their worklists faster. And to a large extent, AI has delivered. Early deployments successfully accelerated diagnoses and reduced report turnaround times, alleviating the pressure on imaging departments operating at capacity.

Feb. 12, 2026 — Siemens Healthineers and Mayo Clinic are expanding their strategic collaboration to enhance patient care for neurodegenerative disease and the management of prostate cancer and metastatic liver tumors. The two organizations recently signed an agreement that will improve care for people with those diseases and expand access to new imaging and interventional technologies.

Initial areas for collaboration include:

Feb. 11, 2026 — Leica Biosystems has announced the global launch of the Leica CM1950 Cryostat with DualEcoTec Cooling System. This next-generation cooling system delivers superior performance, sustainability and enhanced technician comfort — setting a new standard for cryostat technology.

Raritan KVM

Hospitals across the U.S. are facing a growing crisis that hits right at the heart of patient care: There simply aren’t enough trained imaging technologists to keep up with demand. Every day, MRI and CT scan backlogs grow longer, creating ripple effects that delay diagnoses, strain staff and affect patient outcomes.

Recruiting and training new talent is vital, but that’s a long-term investment. Surprisingly, a more immediate solution has been hiding in plain sight. It’s a technology that’s been around for years in IT: the KVM switch.

Feb. 4, 2026 —The HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition has announced that acclaimed actor and philanthropist Jeremy Renner will serve as the closing keynote speaker at the event, taking place March 9-12 at the Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas.
