Video: Medical Imaging Equipment OEMs Can Achieve Faster, More Accurate Results with TI's Portfolio of Embedded Processors and Analo...(linicians and patients improved images e...),Health

In addition to enabling improved images, TI's processors and high-performance analog products also positively impact the speed of care. Many of TI's integrated circuits for medical imaging offer exceptional performance at very low power and in ultra-small form factors, enabling equipment manufacturers to turn large, fixed machines into portable or handheld devices. Portable imaging machines can travel directly to the patient -- whether in an ambulance, in remote locations or in trauma and triage settings -- improving the overall speed and effectiveness of delivering treatment.

Embedded processors, as well as TI's DLP(TM) technology, also give manufacturers tools for new imaging modalities. New techniques such as tissue elasticity imaging, hyperspectral imaging, adaptive patient-specific imaging and 3D/4D imaging and vein viewing all leverage the numerous capabilities of high performance, low power devices from TI. For example, real-time, patient-specific tissue elasticity images can be achieved with new algorithms developed specifically for TI's processors, delivering optimal diagnostics. For 3D/4D imaging, which requires a tremendous amount of real-time processing, TI's processors improve the richness of 3D fetal modeling for clinical analysis and enable effective 4D cardiovascular applications. DLP technology eliminates "bad sticks" by allowing the patient's veins to be highlighted and easily viewed.

"Since the 1980s, TI has worked with medical customers and imaging pioneers such as the University of Washington to develop technologies that advance medical electronics to improve patient care," said Niels Anderskouv, Vice President, DSP Systems with TI. "With this portfolio of processors, we believe we are truly able to give our customers the tools they need to deliver faster, more accurate imaging results to patients and physicians."
