Over the past several years， technological advances have produced a number of accomplishments

　　in medical imaging. Diagnoses are now faster and more accurate， and it’s becoming more practical

　　and cost-effective to bring health care to patients， instead of requiring patients to find time and

　　transportation to medical facilities.

　　Texas Instruments （TI） embedded processors are playing a key role in delivering these advances.

　　Ideal for the processing-intensive tasks characteristic of medical imaging applications， TI products

　　offer an unmatched combination of power efficiency and high performance. This makes them

　　exceptional choices for a range of modalities， including ultrasound， digital X-ray， optical coherence

　　tomography （OCT）， computed tomography （CT）， magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）， and more.

　　Today， TI offers a comprehensive portfolio of more than 15 embedded processors. In addition

　　to the enhanced images that they deliver， the processors’ efficient design enables equipment

　　manufacturers to develop handheld and portable products with performance that was once only

　　available with large， fixed machines.
