Nanox.ARC X Named One of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026

Nanox Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: NNOX), a medical imaging technology company, announced that its Nanox.ARC X digital tomosynthesis system has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared system captures X-ray images from multiple angles, generating up to 200 coronal images per scan to produce three-dimensional views of the body at up to 80% less radiation than computed tomography (CT) for equivalent body parts. Designed with a smaller footprint than conventional CT systems, Nanox.ARC X operates using a standard 110-volt power outlet and features simplified installation, operator workflows and remote upgrade capabilities. The company plans to showcase the system at the RSNA 2026 Annual Meeting in Chicago. Nanox previously received a special mention on TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024 list for its artificial intelligence imaging solutions.

The recognition matters for Texas businesses and the state’s growing health care sector because Nanox.ARC X addresses key barriers to imaging adoption: radiation dose, space requirements, and infrastructure demands. With a smaller footprint and standard power needs, the system could enable more clinics, outpatient centers, and even non-traditional settings to offer advanced 3D imaging, potentially improving early detection and preventive care. For investors, the TIME honor adds credibility to Nanox’s integrated imaging ecosystem, which includes AI-based solutions, cloud software, remote radiology, and health IT tools. The company’s focus on expanding access to medical imaging aligns with broader trends toward decentralized care and cost containment.

MissionIR, an Austin, Texas-based communications platform, distributed the announcement. MissionIR is one of more than 75 brands within the Dynamic Brand Portfolio at IBN, which provides wire solutions through InvestorWire, editorial syndication to 5,000+ outlets, press release enhancement, social media distribution, and other corporate communications solutions.

For Texas, the news underscores the role of innovative medical technology in improving health care efficiency and access. As the state’s population grows, technologies that reduce infrastructure burdens and radiation exposure could help meet rising demand without proportional increases in cost or space. While the direct economic impact of the TIME award is uncertain, it raises the profile of a company whose platform aims to make advanced imaging more accessible, a development worth watching for health care providers, investors, and patients alike.
