What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
The technology is FDA-cleared and clinically real with strong vendor specs, but it is capital hardware with a ~3-5x cost premium and heavy data/workflow burden — relevant to pragma.vision as a data source, not a near-term build/buy.
Next
Monitor reimbursement, outcome-trial readouts and data-pipeline maturity; treat as an upstream image-source whose outputs feed the AI track, not an in-house procurement
