Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology plays an increasingly important role in the field of medical devices. Based on Innography patent analysis platform, this article analyzed global MRI patents, including core patents, inventor location, competitors, patent value for statistical analysis, and text clustering for GE, Siemens and Philips as a comparative analysis. The results may provide credible references for those engaging in research, production and clinical applications at MRI field, as well as provide the latest technology trends and innovations in MRI.
