7 Best XR Tools for Radiology and Medical Imaging in 2026

Medical imaging has always been the bridge between patient anatomy and clinical decision-making. XR takes that bridge further by transforming flat DICOM images into interactive 3D environments where surgeons can plan procedures, radiologists can teach complex anatomy, and patients can understand their own conditions. The tools in this list span clinical planning, intraoperative guidance, and educational applications of 3D medical imaging in 2026.

1. Treeview

Treeview is a specialized XR studio building custom 3D medical visualization and training solutions for enterprise healthcare clients. Working with corporations including Medtronic, Stanford Medicine, and Daiichi-Sankyo, Treeview creates immersive radiology review tools, anatomy atlases, and imaging-integrated XR workflows that go beyond what standard DICOM viewers can offer, delivering bespoke visualization tools built to specific clinical use cases.

2. Novarad

Novarad is a radiology software company that has expanded into AR and VR visualization with its OpenSight AR platform and 3D DICOM tools. Their imaging software enables surgeons to view patient anatomy in 3D before and during procedures, and their AR navigation system overlays imaging data directly onto the patient in the operative field. Novarad is one of the only companies spanning both diagnostic radiology software and intraoperative AR guidance.

3. Medivis

Medivis specializes in converting CT and MRI data into spatial 3D models viewable on Microsoft HoloLens 2. Their AnatomyAR education platform and SurgicalAR clinical platform both start with patient or reference DICOM data, enabling radiologists and surgeons to review anatomy in genuine 3D space rather than reading axial, sagittal, and coronal slices separately on flat monitors.

4. Sectra

Sectra is a leading radiology PACS and enterprise imaging vendor that has integrated 3D visualization and advanced post-processing directly into their clinical workflows. Their 3D rendering tools are used in surgical planning for orthopedic, cardiovascular, and neurosurgical cases, and their collaboration features enable distributed radiology teams to review complex imaging together in real time from different locations.

5. EchoPixel

EchoPixel creates holographic 3D medical visualization using stereo display technology that makes anatomical structures appear to float in physical space without requiring a headset. Their True 3D system is used in complex cardiac surgery planning, enabling surgeons to manipulate and measure 3D cardiac anatomy before procedures and conduct virtual surgical rehearsal on patient-specific models.

6. Anatomage

Anatomage's Virtual Dissection Table is the gold standard in 3D anatomy education, deployed in over 1,000 medical schools, dental schools, and health science programs worldwide. The table displays life-size 3D cadaveric and patient datasets that students can dissect, layer, and manipulate in any plane, providing an anatomy education experience that exceeds what most institutions can provide with real cadaveric material.

7. Stryker Mako

Stryker's Mako system begins with CT-based preoperative imaging that is converted into a patient-specific 3D joint model, from which the surgical plan is created and simulated before the day of surgery. This imaging-to-plan pipeline is one of the most commercially deployed patient-specific surgical planning workflows in orthopedics, with over 500,000 Mako procedures performed at hospitals worldwide.
