QT Imaging Leverages NVIDIA L40 GPU Acceleration to Power its Next-Gen Breast Imaging Reconstruction Software
The U.S. FDA-cleared QTI Breast Acoustic CT™ scanner is the first non-invasive breast imaging technology that provides a true 3D image of the breast anatomy without compression, contrast administration, or harmful ionizing radiation. Despite the processing speed gains achieved via the version 4.4.0 software update, QTscan breast image fidelity and diagnostic accuracy are uncompromised, and image quality remains best-in-class, with a resolution similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Designed to meet the needs of busy breast imaging centers, the software update ensures minimal downtime and seamless integration into existing workflows. Accordingly, it enhances scalability for institutions expanding their QTI breast screening programs, ensuring consistent performance across increasing patient volumes.
'This latest software release reflects direct input from radiologists and clinical partners, underscoring our commitment to continuous innovation based on real-world use,' said QTI's CEO, Dr. Raluca Dinu. 'Faster image availability enables radiologists to review and interpret QTI scans more quickly, supporting earlier clinical decision-making. And accelerated processing reduces wait times for results, contributing to a smoother and more reassuring patient journey.'
The QTI team continues to innovate by leveraging proprietary machine learning algorithms not only to accelerate image processing via the version 4.4.0 software update, but also to actively reduce scanning time — a key focus area in ongoing development. Version 4.4.0 is optimized for systems utilizing NVIDIA's L40 GPUs and remains fully backward-compatible with earlier QTI system hardware, ensuring broad accessibility through scalable, software-driven architecture.

The stock market is being led by a new group of winners
The stock market is being led by a new group of winners originally appeared on TheStreet. For a while, the S&P 500's returns have been dominated by a select group of technology kingpins known as the Magnificent 7. Those seven stocks, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Nvidia, and Tesla, powered the market higher due to massive spending and demand growth for artificial intelligence training and remain key cogs in the S&P 500's performance, but more recently, a new basket of stocks is delivering big returns, potentially signaling the early days of a regime change. Unlike the Mag 7, the new leaders are far less tied to AI. Sure, names like Palantir and Nvidia remain big winners, but the broader group of stocks delivering eye-popping returns spans more industries, including finance and, yes, even space. Stocks jump on renewed optimism It's been a tale of two markets this year. First, stocks took a drubbing beginning in February when President Donald Trump launched his trade war, instituting 25% tariffs on Canada and White House followed that up with more tariffs, often higher than Wall Street and businesses expected, including a baseline 10% tariff on all imports and a 25% tariff on autos. Altogether, the tariff tit-for-tat took a big toll on stocks, causing the S&P 500 to fall by 19% — nearly into bear market territory — and the Nasdaq Composite to tumble about 24% through early April. Then, everything changed. President Trump paused most reciprocal tariffs on April 9, providing leeway for trade deals that could settle tariffs at more reasonable levels. The glimmer of hope for avoiding a worst-case scenario of high tariffs sparking inflation and sending the economy into a tailspin marked a bottom for stocks, kicking off a record-setting rally. The S&P 500 has marched 24% higher, while the Nasdaq has rallied by over 30% as more people have lowered their forward inflation expectations. While there's some concerning economic data on jobs and the economy, market gains suggest we'll sidestep an economic reckoning, providing upside to revenue and earnings growth. New stock market leaders emerge By now, most investors are familiar with market darlings Nvidia and Palantir, two of the most prominent AI players. Given its dominance in high-end AI semiconductor chips and optimization software, Nvidia is the de facto Goliath in AI network infrastructure. Palantir has become a go-to for securely developing AI apps for government and stocks have been top performers over the past few months, rising 82% and 107% from their early April lows. But other big-cap technology companies haven't performed nearly as well. Alphabet and Apple are up 28% and 23%, respectively. Solid, but not game-changing. You could have bought the Nasdaq 100 and done much better. Instead, a new set of stock market darlings has been outpacing the market, including space technology leader Rocket Lab () and fintech leader SoFi Technologies () . Cryptocurrency leader Coinbase () has also been a star. These three stocks are up 214%, 130%, and 176%, respectively, from their April lows. Moreover, to understand just how good the performance of this new basket of leaders has been, you need look no further than the VanEck Social Sentiment ETF () . The BUZZ ETF invests in "75 large cap U.S. stocks, which exhibit the highest degree of positive investor sentiment and bullish perception based on content aggregated from online sources including social media, news articles, blog posts, and other alternative datasets," according to VanEck. In short, it attempts to keep its finger on the pulse of the most interesting stocks. So far, that strategy is working. The BUZZ ETF gained 36% in the second quarter and is up 22% year-to-date through June. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is up 11% and 6%. It's up 66% since early April, and month-to-date through July 18, it's gained 8% versus a 2% return for the Nasdaq. More on next-generation stocks:"Look at how poorly the QQQs have done relative to BUZZ since April. Think about this, we consider the QQQs to be the pinnacle of technology stocks, yet they practically look like the healthcare stocks relative to the S&P when compared to BUZZ," wrote long-time technical analyst Helene Meisler on TheStreet Pro. It's not just Rocket Lab, Coinbase, and SoFi powering the ETF, either. Yes, those are the three largest holdings in BUZZ, but AST SpaceMobile and Robinhood () are number four and five, and they've been up 186% and 219% since early April. Nvidia and Palantir are only BUZZ's 10th and 11th biggest holdings, so while their gains are substantial, they're not the ones behind the ETF's significant outperformance. Does the rise of Rocket Lab, thanks to a steady stream of revenue growth from shooting satellites into the sky, or SoFi, which is increasingly disrupting traditional banking, signal the rise of a new guard, or is it just a temporary speculative frenzy? "I was taught that corrections are the market's way of changing leadership," wrote Meisler. "Was the spring plunge the market's way of changing leadership? Or is this just speculation run amok? If you go back to that ratio chart, it's a trend that has been in place for at least a year." Of course, stocks don't go up in a straight line, and some backfilling of gains for this new group of winners is to be expected. Still, one year is a pretty long period for this ETF and its biggest components to outpace the broader market.

12,000 pounds of organic blueberries recalled over Listeria risk — here's what to know
The frozen berries were shipped to a single customer in North Carolina, but the FDA has issued its highest-level health warning. A frozen fruit recall is drawing national attention, but it all comes down to one state. North Carolina is the only area affected by a new FDA blueberry recall, after a batch of frozen organic fruit tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes during finished product testing. The fruit came from Alma Pak International, a Georgia-based supplier, and was shipped on or before June 9, 2025, to a single commercial customer. The FDA has since elevated the recall to Class I — the agency's highest risk category for products that pose a serious health threat if consumed. What's the Recall? Here are the details of the recall so that you can check for affected product in foodservice settings or repackaged goods. Alma Pak Organic Blueberries (frozen) Shipped in 30-pound bulk boxes Lot numbers: 13325 G1060 and 13325 G1096 The recalled blueberries were shipped to a single commercial customer in North Carolina. The FDA has not issued a consumer-facing press release, and the buyer has not been named. These berries were not sold directly to consumers, but could potentially have been used in food service, commercial baking, or other large-batch applications. No other Alma Pak products or lots are included in this recall. Why This Recall Matters Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most dangerous foodborne pathogens, and frozen fruit, while often considered lower risk, has been the source of several high-profile recalls in recent years. Unlike many other bacteria, Listeria can survive freezing temperatures, meaning contaminated fruit remains hazardous even straight from the freezer. While most healthy individuals may experience only mild symptoms, Listeria infections can be life-threatening for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals. This recall is especially concerning because the blueberries were shipped in bulk, unlabeled boxes. While there's no confirmed evidence the product reached consumers, it's possible the fruit was used in prepared foods like baked goods, smoothies, or frozen blends sold regionally. The Class I designation is not limited to E. coli or meat contamination. It applies to any situation where the FDA sees a 'reasonable probability' that exposure could cause serious illness, including Listeria, undeclared allergens, and other high-risk threats. What to Do If you operate a foodservice business or grocery in North Carolina, check with your distributor to determine whether the affected lot codes were received. The FDA recommends discarding any impacted product and thoroughly sanitizing any prep surfaces, containers, or equipment that may have come into contact with the berries. If you're a consumer who recently bought bulk or repackaged organic frozen blueberries, especially from a small grocer, farmers market, or co-op, ask whether they source fruit from Alma Pak. If you're not sure, it's safest to throw it out. Even frozen fruit isn't immune from contamination. A Class I recall means the risk is real and worth taking seriously, even in just one state.

As Trump courts a more assertive Beijing, China hawks are losing out
The move was a dramatic reversal from three months ago, when President Trump banned China from accessing the H20, while also imposing triple-digit tariffs on Beijing. That set off an economically perilous trade clash, as China retaliated by clamping down on exports of minerals and magnets that are critical to American factories, including automakers and defense manufacturers. China's decision to cut off access to those materials upended the dynamic between the world's largest economies. The Trump administration, which came into office determined to bully China into changing its trade behavior with punishing tariffs, appeared to realize the perils of that approach. Now, the administration has resorted to trying to woo China instead. Officials throughout the government say the Trump administration is putting more aggressive actions against China on hold, while pushing forward with moves that the Chinese will perceive positively. That includes the reversal on the H20 chip. Advertisement The H20 decision was primarily motivated by top Trump officials who agreed with Nvidia's arguments that selling the chip would be better for American technology leadership than withholding it, people familiar with the move say. But Trump officials have also claimed that it was part of the trade talks. After telling Congress in June that there was 'no quid pro quo in terms of chips for rare earths,' Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, reversed those comments Tuesday, saying that the H20 move was 'all part of a mosaic' of talks with China. 'They had things we wanted, we had things they wanted, and we're in a very good place,' he said. Advertisement A Chinese Ministry of Commerce official seemed to reject that Friday, saying that the United States had 'taken the initiative' to approve the H20 sales. China believes the United States should continue to remove its trade and economic restrictions, the official said. A person familiar with the talks, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said that the H20 chip was not specifically discussed in meetings between Chinese and US officials in Geneva and London this spring. But the reversal was part of a more recent cadence of warmer actions the United States and China have taken toward each other. For instance, Beijing agreed in recent weeks to block the export of several chemicals used to make fentanyl, an issue Trump has been concerned about. Recent events have underscored the influence that China has over the US economy. When Trump raised tariffs on Chinese exports in April, some top Trump officials thought Beijing would quickly fold, given its recent economic weakness. Instead, Beijing called Trump's bluff by restricting rare earths needed by American makers of cars, military equipment, medical devices, and electronics. As the flow of those materials stopped, Trump and other officials began receiving calls from CEOs saying their factories would soon shut down. Ford, Suzuki, and other companies shuttered factories because of the lack of supply. Advertisement Trump and his top advisers were surprised by the threat that Beijing's countermove posed, people familiar with the matter say. That brought the United States back to the negotiating table this spring to strike a fragile trade truce, which Trump officials are now wary of upsetting. That agreement dropped tariffs from a minimum 145 percent to 30 percent, with the Chinese agreeing to allow rare earths to flow as freely as before. The administration's caution when it comes to China has been amplified by Trump's desire for an invitation to Beijing later this year. The president, who has been feted on other foreign trips, wants to engage in face-to-face trade negotiations with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, has begun recruiting chief executives for a potential delegation, setting off a competition over who will get to ride in Air Force One, according to people familiar with the plans. The Commerce Department declined to comment. The White House, the Treasury Department, and the Office of the United States Trade Representative did not respond to a request for comment. 'The government understands that forcing the world to use foreign competition would only hurt America's economic and national security,' said John Rizzo, a spokesperson for Nvidia. Opposition to China has fueled bipartisan action for the past decade. Now, Trump's more hawkish supporters are quietly watching as the president remakes the party's China strategy. Though few are willing to speak out publicly, officials in the Trump administration and in Congress have privately expressed concern that the trade war has given China an opening to finally bring US technology controls onto the negotiating table. Advertisement Christopher Padilla, a former export control official in the George W. Bush administration, said the fact that the United States was now negotiating over what were supposed to be security restrictions was 'a significant accomplishment for the Chinese.' 'They've been after this for decades, and now they've succeeded,' he said. 'I assume the Chinese are going to demand more concessions on export controls in return for whatever we want next.'
