The pages AI reads before it names a radiology and medical imaging vendor
The 20 pages cited most across 150 AI answers recorded on 22 September 2026, and the Index vendors each one lists.
From 150 answers recorded on 2026-09-22 (10 buyer questions, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, three runs each), 414 distinct pages were cited. These are the 20 cited most often.
The plain lesson: of these 20 pages, eleven are editorial roundups, four are community threads, two are directories or review sites, two are vendors' own pages and one is an analyst page. The page cited most, pacscribe.com, appears in 48 of the 150 answers. Roundups and directories are pages a vendor can ask to be listed on; a vendor's own pages are the ones it controls. Of the 13 third-party pages that could be read, Sectra is listed on 13, Intelerad on 12, Visage Imaging on 12.

How to read this: a count is the number of answers that cited the page. The vendors column comes from fetching each page on 2026-09-28 (robots.txt respected) and matching the 24 Index vendors in this category by name; a vendor listed on a page is not a vendor the engines named. A page cited today may not be cited next month.
Observed answers on stated dates, not a ranking. Absence Index release 2026-09, method v1.1, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22907695.
