Welcome to the latest issue of the Medical Technology magazine 

On the top of every medical device company's agenda is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to advance their technology and improve the patient experience. 

In this month's edition of the Medical Technology magazine we explore how generative AI is already impacting the radiology world. Many startups are at work on developing tools either to automatically enhance the fidelity of CT and other imaging scans and assist with report summarisation. The technology is also promising to personalise patient care.

We also look at the hurdles that industry is facing due to EU MDR. Past research determined it would not interfere with innovation. However, the less optimistic reality is being felt by contract research organisations (CROs) and their clients who are struggling to navigate the regulation. 

All this and the latest medical device industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData.

Catherine Longworth, editor
