Amphenol Alden Is Your Trusted Partner for Medical Imaging Interconnect Solutions
Imaging has been, and continues to be, an essential element in the diagnostics, surgery, therapy delivery, and monitoring phases of healthcare. Throughout our decades supporting the Medical interconnect market, Amphenol has developed a stellar reputation for the medical cable assemblies and interconnect solutions we provide to this critical field.
Read on for context about the nature of medical imaging and how our company supports healthcare efforts.
What is Imaging?
In the field of medical care, imaging means being able to visualize inside the body in support of the fields of diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring patient care. Over the past 100+ years it has been an important, ever evolving, achievement that has helped to save countless lives. For medical professionals, being able to see what may be going wrong with a patient without having to resort to exploratory surgery has greatly improved the care they provide and improved patient outcomes.
Medical imaging comes in many different forms including, amongst other things,:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- X-Rays
- Ultrasound
- Positron-emission Tomography (PET)
- Other Forms of Nuclear Medicine Imaging
- Computer Tomography (CT)
This list is not meant to be comprehensive but rather to illustrate the wide range of applications and types of imaging used in medicine today.
How Amphenol Helps Those in the Industry
Amphenol Alden’s broad product portfolio supports all types of medical imaging devices, from x-ray machines operating at the highest voltages to ultrasound machines requiring the highest density of fine gauge wire assemblies. We’re proud of how our innovative cable assemblies, including hybrid cable assemblies and connectors, are used by leading providers in the medical imaging industry.
As new technologies are deployed to enhance image quality while reducing overall cost, Amphenol Alden has consistently delivered ideal solutions. Our cable assemblies and connectors support a broad array of devices including those using Fluoroscopy, X-Ray, CT, MRI, PET, and other imaging modalities.
Importance of Using the Right Equipment
Reliability and flawless transmission of electrical energy are some of the most critical requirements for interconnect solutions for Medical Imaging. The last thing you want during a procedure is for a key component to fail mid-way through. This is why the medical imaging industry has come to rely on us to provide the right cable assemblies that are durable and well-engineered for the job at hand.
We offer a wide variety of medical cable assemblies and connectors, from reusable products that can stand up to repeated sterilization reprocessing (enduring the most aggressive autoclave reprocessing profiles) to value-efficient disposable connectors and cable assemblies. Our cable assemblies are engineered to support everything from low-speed signal data to exceptionally high-speed data rates, required impedance-matched copper assemblies or fiber-optic assemblies.
Medical professionals appreciate that our medical connectors’ passive and active latching mechanisms are available, with multiple standard color and keying options. These options help keep every piece of equipment and its cables sorted out and easily identifiable. This is crucial for helping ensure faster set-up of the clinical environment and reducing errors.
