Initial three-year term includes minimum annual license commitments
PETACH TIKVA, ISRAEL, August 18 2026 -- Nanox Imaging Ltd. (“Nanox”, or the “Company” NASDAQ: NNOX), a leader in innovative medical imaging technology, today announced its subsidiary, Nanox AI Ltd. (“Nanox AI”) entered into a sales reseller agreement with Vertec Scientific Ltd. (“Vertec”) for the commercialization of Nanox.AI bone solution (HealthOST) in the United Kingdom.
The agreement grants Vertec an exclusive license to market and resell HealthOST in the United Kingdom, subject to Vertec satisfying minimum annual license commitments, over an initial three-year term.
Nanox.AI bone solution (HealthOST) is an FDA-cleared and UKCA/CE-marked AI software solution that analyzes eligible routine CT scans. Nanox.AI bone solution (HealthOST) is an AI-enabled image processing software that provides qualitative and quantitative analysis of the spine from CT images to support clinicians in the evaluation and assessment of musculoskeletal disease of the spine, such as osteoporosis. The software provides vertebral labeling, vertebral height-loss measurements and vertebral bone-attenuation measurements.
Since the CT scans analyzed by HealthOST were performed for other clinical indications, no additional imaging, radiation or patient time is required, enabling opportunistic assessment from routine CT scans. HealthOST is seamlessly integrated with existing picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and can enable timely and appropriate preventive care.
In November 2025, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended HealthOST, as well as a previous version, HealthVCF, among five AI technologies for National Health Service (NHS) use “as options to aid the opportunistic detection of vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs).”

Erez Meltzer, Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chairman of Nanox, said: “This agreement expands the reach of our AI bone solution into the UK market and reflects our continued momentum in bringing AI-driven bone health assessment to healthcare providers. Vertec Scientific's established presence in DXA and bone health solutions makes them a strong partner to support this rollout across the UK.”
Kate O’Reilly, Managing Director of Vertec, added: “We are delighted to bring HealthOST to healthcare providers across the UK. Osteoporosis and vertebral fractures too often go undetected until it's too late, and this technology gives clinicians a straightforward way to identify at-risk patients from routine scans, enabling more timely and proactive interventions. We look forward to working with Nanox AI to expand access to this solution across the UK.”
