In Canada, there were over 700,000 surgeries to implant some kind of device into a patient in 2018-19. And in the US, it is estimated that as many as 10% of Americans have some kind of medical device implanted in their body. With our society aging and requiring things like hip and knee replacements, this trend is set to continue.</p> Thu, 16 Nov 2023 16:02:52 +0000 Charlotte Bawol and Junji Nishihata 73798 at /innovation /innovation/article/goodbye-mri-cancer-monitoring-palm-your-hand <p>The acronym MRI is probably one of the most commonly quoted medical terms around.
