VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Equity-Insider.com News Commentary – The AI medical imaging market is entering a phase of explosive 25.8% annual growth through 2034[1]. This systemic re-rating is driven by healthcare’s structural pivot from bulky, expensive hardware to agile, software-defined intelligence. As diagnostics move out of specialized labs and into decentralized, point-of-care environments[2], institutions are rotating capital into a first-mover cohort capable of delivering MRI-grade accuracy on the fly. This secular transition is positioning VentriPoint Diagnostics (TSXV: VPT) (OTCPK: VPTDF), Heartflow (NASDAQ: HTFL), AtriCure (NASDAQ: ATRC), Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW), and CeriBell (NASDAQ: CBLL) as the primary engines for democratized diagnostic intelligence in 2026.

This creates a direct, lucrative reimbursement pathway for scalable AI platforms that can prove they actually save lives and dollars. Value-based care is reaching a digital tipping point in 2026[4], where connected platforms are no longer a “nice-to-have” but a survival requirement for healthcare providers. In this new landscape, software-defined imaging platforms are the load-bearing walls of the industry, allowing clinics to aggregate clinical data at scale while delivering a measurable return on investment.
