Abstract
This study analyzes the global patents development and clinical applications of photon counting CT (PCCT) technology in the past 20 years, including the trends of global patent application, the patent portfolio planning, key innovations and technological evolution of top medical device companies. The study utilizes patent retrievals in incoPat database, and then carries out patent navigation analysis. At the same time, with reports of clinical trials and research, the advantages and prospects of PCCT in clinical diagnosis are sorted out. With the rapid growth of the number of patent applications for PCCT, the technologies and clinical trials are becoming increasingly mature. It is expected that in the next few years, more PCCT products will be launched to the market, bringing a more accurate and safe diagnostic experience to radiologists and patients.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation mainly reports on the development, progress, research and development, production, clinical application, management, and maintenance of medical devices and biomedical engineering. Its aim is to promote the exchange of information on medical devices and biomedical engineering in China and turn the journal into a high-quality academic journal that leads academic directions and advocates academic debates.
