Using software to interpret, amplify and enhance instrument-acquired signals will become more common in imaging applications. Look to this kind of technology to have significant impact on future imaging devices.

Here are some examples of the current state of sensing and automatic capture technology.

So why is intellectual property more important in the medical device design field?
