A wide variety of comparators, GPIO interfaces, overtemperature, and overvoltage protection devices, and data converters can serve battery monitoring and balancing to enhance reliability and optimize battery life.

• Diagnostic ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body.
• Therapeutic or interventional ultrasound also uses sound waves above the range of human hearing but does not produce images. Its purpose is to interact with tissues in the body such that they are either modified or destroyed.

• Ultrasound machine design is becoming more user-friendly for novice users, with fewer knobs and streamlined design.
• Improvements in battery life for hand-carried machines and the lack of film, chemical developers, and dedicated technicians, allow for the use of ultrasound in remote areas of the developing world.

• X-ray systems use high-energy radiation to diagnose diseases by taking images of the internal structure of the body.
• There are various applications where X-ray systems are used such as oncology, dental, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and others.

• There is a high preference and demand for minimally invasive treatments and diagnostic procedures.
• Market leaders are involved in R&D to offer advancements in this highly competitive market, encouraging growth in the X-ray systems market, especially considering rising numbers of diagnostic imaging centers.

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body.
• MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body.

The market for MRI Systems is driven by four major factors:

1. The increase in aging populations
2. Innovation of newer advanced technologies
3. The growing percentage of the population suffering from cancer
4. Increase in awareness of the importance of early diagnosis of disease which aids early treatment.
