Update April 7, 2026, 12:00 ET: This feature is now available for Mac users running macOS 26.4, confirmed by Greg Joswiak.

When Apple introduced the Studio Display XDR last month, it detailed a new Medical Imaging Calibrator feature that allows radiologists to view diagnostic images directly on the screen.

This feature has now received FDA approval. Therefore, Apple announced that the Medical Imaging Calibrator will be available this week for Studio Display XDR users in the United States.

New Studio Display XDR Feature Starting This Week

From Apple’s original Studio Display XDR press release:

Today, Apple is introducing new DICOM medical imaging presets and the Medical Imaging Calibrator for use in diagnostic radiology. This allows radiologists to view diagnostic images directly on the Studio Display XDR. Many medical professionals already use Macs for their office or home setups, and the Studio Display XDR offers a versatile option as an alternative to single-purpose medical imaging screens.

The Medical Imaging Calibrator in macOS is pending FDA approval and is expected to be available soon in the U.S. For decades, healthcare professionals and developers have been leveraging Apple’s innovative products and frameworks to achieve better patient outcomes, expand research opportunities, and enhance efficiency in healthcare systems. Apple continues to develop solutions in collaboration with the healthcare community to provide better care for their patients.

Apple's full technology overview PDF for the Studio Display XDR provides more details about its medical imaging capabilities. The company states that this feature is designed for use by trained medical professionals in general radiology, covering applications outside of mammography.

Studio Display XDR users can switch between medical imaging and general use through the System Settings application in macOS, offering a versatile option for radiologists.

Apple says the new Medical Imaging Calibrator feature for the Studio Display XDR will be available this week in the U.S.
