Description

This edition of the Medical and Diagnostic and Imaging TOE depicts trends across four innovation spotlights: use of focused ultrasound system for treating essential tremors, a new CT detector for extremity imaging, a triple imaging modality system for PET-CT scanning, and a portable digital radiography system for dealing with space crunch issues in medical centers. The patent landscape is also depicted along with the industry interactions.

Medical and Diagnostic Imaging TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE)'s mission is to analyze and report new and emerging technologies; advances in R&D, product development and regulatory matters specifically related to the areas of CT, MRI, NM, PET, Ultrasound and X-ray. In addition, relevant developments in fusion technologies, functional imaging technology, interventional cardiology and image guided surgery and healthcare IT related areas such as PACS, medical information storage, and disaster recovery/business continuance will also be covered.

Medical devices and imaging technology and innovation research covers cutting-edge global developments in medical devices and imaging sectors such as biosensors, biomaterials, biomechanics, microtechnologies, nanotechnologies, assistive technologies and imaging technologies and platforms.
