FDA Officially Clears Apple Studio Display XDR for Diagnostic Radiology Use

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given clearance for the Studio Display XDR’s medical image calibration feature, allowing radiologists to use the display to view medical images.

Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak confirmed on Tuesday that U.S. radiologists can connect the ‌Studio Display‌ XDR to a Mac running macOS 26.4 to use DICOM medical imaging presets.

The ‌Studio Display‌ XDR supports DICOM and has a Medical Imaging Calibrator for diagnostic radiology, allowing radiologists to view images without using a single-purpose medical imaging display. While the ‌Studio Display‌ XDR with a VESA mount is priced at $2,899, it is more affordable than many specialized medical imaging monitors.

The display’s DICOM medical imaging presets and the Medical Imaging Calibrator enable it for use in diagnostic radiology, allowing radiologists to view diagnostic images directly on Studio Display XDR. Many medical professionals already use Mac for their office or home setups, and Studio Display XDR offers a versatile alternative to single-purpose medical imaging displays, with seamless display mode switching.

Apple currently doesn’t have appropriate medical clearance in other countries to expand the radiology feature outside of the US.
