And one of the key components of many of these tools and devices is the printed circuit board (PCB). PCBs are used in a wide range of medical devices, from simple blood pressure monitors to more complex MRI machines. They are also used in lots of other industries, but the medical industry has particularly benefited from their use. Here’s a look at some of how PCBs have […]

A printed electronics medical product with FDA approval:  Screen-Printed MRI Coils!  In this keynote talk, Dr Ana Claudia Arias from University of California, Berkeley will explain how she and her team have leveraged screen-printing to produce flexible, lightweight MRI coil arrays with enhanced coil performance and better patient experience specially for babies! Here, Dr Arias reports on the design and characterization of a 12-channel RF receiver coil array, including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) studies performed in phantoms, volunteers, and patients. Phantom tests involving the pediatric printed coil indicated noise covariance matrices on par with those of the commercial coil, with a minor SNR reduction for the printed coil. “Our work included a comprehensive study that assess the performance and acceptance of a pediatric-sized screen-printed flexible MRI coil array, contrasting it with conventional coil technology. Study participants, ranging from 2 days to 12 years in age, underwent MRI scans using the pediatric printed array. The results were benchmarked against historical control subjects who were scanned using a commercial 32-channel cardiac array at 3 Tesla. A survey of caregivers and clinicians demonstrated strong acceptance of the printed coil, garnering an average score of 4.1 out of 5, indicating a preference for the printed coil. The diagnostic quality of images produced using the printed coil was highly rated, achieving a quality score of 4.5.” This is one of the most exciting and innovative examples of printed electronics enabling a new medical design, which addresses keypoints and goes where existing technology can not. This technology is currently being comemrcialized by InkSpace Imaging Join us and the global community in Berlin on 17-18 OCT to RESHAPE the Future of Electronics, making it Additive, Flexible, Wearable, and 3D.
