Medical Technology, which is a proper subset of health technology, encompasses a wide range of healthcare products and is used to diagnose, monitor or treat diseases or medical conditions affecting humans. As the other technology like mobile technology, educational technology, electronic technology, green technology are developing and growing with very high pace, medical field can't be deficient in innovation and technology field. Medical technology may broadly include medical devices, information technology, biotech, and healthcare services.Some new medical technology innovations are mentioned below.

Top innovative ideas in all fields1. MelaFind optical scanner :
Melanoma is one of the most dangerous and complex form of skin cancer.The MELA (MELA Sciences, Irvington, NY) has developed and manufactured the melafind optical scanner. The MelaFind technology uses missile navigation technology. The MelaFind optical scanner is not for definitive diagnosis but rather to provide additional information a doctor can use in determining whether or not to order a biopsy. The goal is to reduce the number of patients left with unnecessary biopsy scars, with the added benefit of eliminating the cost of unnecessary procedures.

256-Slice CT scanner will give entire 3D image of heart for a heartbeat. Doctors can analyze the valves, arteries, veins and many small things inside heart for each heartbeat. Different type heart diseases requires detail analysis and accurate behaviour detection of different heart parts at real-time. 3D image of the heart obtained from this scanner will give much more detail information about functioning of different parts of the heart. This scanner will play very important role in the diagnosis for heart diseases.

The Sapien trans-catheter aortic valve(Edwards.com)
|
It is manufactured by Edwards Life Sciences (Irvine, CA), the Sapien
has been available in Europe for some time but is only now finding its
first use in U.S. heart centers—where it is limited only to the frailest
patients thus far. This valve is guided through the femoral
artery by catheter from a small incision near the grown or rib cage. The
valve material is made of bovine tissue attached to a stainless-steel
stent, which is expanded by inflating a small balloon when correctly
placed in the valve space.
