58 DESIGN007 MAGAZINE I JUNE 2024 Article by Anaya Vardya AMERICAN STANDARD CIRCUITS Ultra high-density interconnect (UHDI) technology typically refers to advanced printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing techniques that allow for a higher density of electronic components and interconnections within a smaller area. While not directly related to medical applications on its own, UHDI tech- nology can indirectly benefit various medical devices and equipment by enabling smaller, more compact designs with increased func- tionality and performance. UHDI FUNDAMENTALS: UHDI Applications for Medical Devices Here are some ways UHDI technology could be applied in the medical field: Medical imaging devices: UHDI technology can be used to create smaller and more intri- cate circuitry for devices such as ultrasound machines, MRI scanners, and CT scanners. is allows for improved image quality, faster processing, and more compact designs, which can enhance diagnostic capabilities and patient comfort.
