Information transfer in the medical device industry.
This presentation provides an overview of the process of information transfer in a typical area of the medical device industry, that of medical imaging. The medical device industry must translate technological trends into ideas for new methods for diagnosis and treatment. The feasibility of such ideas has to be evaluated carefully, inasmuch as large amounts of money are sometimes invested in product development. Moreover, the knowhow obtained from research must be protected long enough to enable the industry to complete development and market the product.
