Every month I add up the Google visits to the 14 AI radiology tool sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 35,740 visits.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 20% in a year while another lost 88% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
Visits are lower than a year ago. October 2026 was level on September 2026, but the forecast still points down, so the fall may not be over. Name searches (-23%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-82%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.
2.Are people searching for AI radiology tool sites by name?
Down 23% on October 2025; 9.8K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI radiology tool sites 9,770 times in September 2026, 23% fewer searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai radiology” itself gets about 720 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains
Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.
3.Which AI radiology tool sites grew, and which shrank?
The five most-visited sites hold 80.3% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 98.7%
The five most-visited AI radiology tool sites get 80.3% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Arterys, from 7,330 to 8,808 visits (+20%). Steepest fall: Qure.ai, from 18,123 to 2,184 visits (-88%).
