Here, we’ll scratch the surface on three trends that are improving medical imaging technologies, and by extension, diagnostics, patient outcomes and access to care. We’ll usemagnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which leverages radio frequency (RF) signals, to contextualize these trends.  [Read More](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/medical-imaging-trends-were-keeping-an-eye-on-at-knowles-precision-devices) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/medical-imaging-trends-were-keeping-an-eye-on-at-knowles-precision-devices#comments-listing) Topics: [Medical](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/tag/medical) ## [Focusing on Ways to Better Support You in 2024 and Beyond](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/focusing-on-ways-to-better-support-you-in-2024-and-beyond) Posted by [Chris Dugan](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/author/chris-dugan) on Jan 24, 2024 8:45:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/hubfs/Focusing_on_Ways_to_Better_Support_You_in_2024_and_Beyond.png)](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/focusing-on-ways-to-better-support-you-in-2024-and-beyond) It’s been an incredibly exciting year to lead the Precision Devices division and support our talented employees as they innovate on and push the boundaries of the specialty components these markets require.  [Read More](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/focusing-on-ways-to-better-support-you-in-2024-and-beyond) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/focusing-on-ways-to-better-support-you-in-2024-and-beyond#comments-listing) Topics: [News and Events](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/tag/news-and-events), [Military and Aerospace](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/tag/military-and-aerospace), [Medical](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/tag/medical), [Electric Vehicles](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/tag/electric-vehicles), [Energy](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/tag/energy) ## [Medical Electronics Bring Care Closer to Patients](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/medical-electronics-bring-care-closer-to-patients) Posted by [Jordan Yates](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/author/jordan-yates) on Jan 3, 2024 8:34:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Medical Electronics Bring Care Closer to Patients](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/hubfs/Medical%20Electronics%20Bring%20Care%20Closer%20to%20Patients.jpg)](https://blog.knowlescapacitors.com/blog/medical-electronics-bring-care-closer-to-patients) Digital and connected healthcare methods are getting better and better at harnessing the full potential of today’s advanced medical technologies and popular consumer devices.

According to the [American Medical Association](https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/issue/implantable-material-and-device-regulation) (AMA), approximately 10 percent of Americans will receive an implantable device during their lifetimes. To serve consistent, often life-sustaining functions, implantables require high-reliability components that guarantee long-term performance.
