Cephalometric x-ray systems are used to capture radiographic images of the entire head. The x-ray films are used by the orthodontists to view the jawbone, teeth and soft tissues to diagnose misalignment or malocclusions, also known as bite problems. The cephalometric x-ray system is also used for the treatment of temporo-mandibular joint and several other facial structure issues. Cephalometric x-ray systems also have a major application in cosmetic surgeries. The cephalometric images are taken with a standard panoramic x-ray machine, which has one cephalometric film holder mounted off onto a mechanical arm. No films or plates are inserted inside the mouth, thus cephalometric x-ray is extraoral and painless. The two types of cephalometric x-ray systems include lateral cephalometric x-ray system and post-anterior (P-A) cephalometric x-ray system. The cephalometric x-rays are used to demonstrate facial and bone contouring in profile on a single film and are also used by the ENT (Ear/Nose/Throat) specialists to view the airway for treatment of conditions such as sleep apnea.

Drug-induced nephrotoxicity or drug-induced kidney disease (DIKD) is primarily recognized as a significant contributor to kidney disease including acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is often go unrecognized, particularly in the setting of short drug exposures, which leads challenges in assessing the incidence, severity and long-term consequences of drug-induced kidney disease. The mechanisms for drug-induced nephrotoxicity include changes in glomerular hemodynamics, tubular cell toxicity, inflammation, crystal nephropathy, rhabdomyolysis, and thrombotic microangiopathy.

Endobronchial valves are specially designed one-way valves that allow the exhaled air to exit the lungs, but restrict the entry of inhaled air to the lung compartment. The endobronchial valve is used to decrease the lung volume in the condition of lung disease or more specifically emphysema. A commonly endoscopic approach is prescribed rather than thoracoscopic lung volume reduction surgery. The insertion of the endobronchial valve is performed by a delivery catheter, which is passed from the bronchoscope. An endobronchial valve is designed in such a way that it only prevents air uptake or inflation during the inhalation process, and allows the mucosa and exhaled air to exit or the lungs to deflate during the process of exaltation. The endobronchial valves come in different shapes and designs based on the use. Currently, the endobronchial valves are designed in duckbill and umbrella shape.

Embolization is a technique used to clog small blood vessels and block the blood flow, generally in cases of tumors. The renal arteries are responsible for proper functioning of the kidneys as they supply them blood. The renal arteries take a large volume of blood to be filtered by the kidneys. The renal artery embolization technique is used mainly to treat urological and neurological diseases. The renal artery embolization technique is a minimal invasive procedure that terminates the blood flow completely or partially. According to a Cancer Journal, the incidence of renal cell carcinoma is rising by 2–4% every year and in the U.S it is the 7th leading cancer type. According to a Cancer Journal, 200,000 people currently are estimated to have kidney cancer in the U.S. The renal artery embolization is required by patients dealing with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, renal graft intolerance syndrome or any end stage renal disease. The renal artery embolization is being used to treat symptomatic renal arteriovenous malformations or renal artery aneurysms with less risk of complications as compared to other surgical alternatives.

Artificial iris is made up of thin, foldable and stretchable medical grade silicon. It is custom-sized and colored according to consumer demand. Artificial iris is also known as prosthetic iris. Artificial iris is primarily utilized in the process of replacing the damaged iris in various eye defects as such congenital aniridia and traumatic iris loss and other eye complications. The major purpose of using an artificial iris is it provides minimally invasive procedure where the iris can be implanted with very small incision or surgical injector. Previously the artificial iris implantation was very rarely used as there were many regulatory challenges in using artificial iris in ophthalmic surgical procedures. For every artificial iris implant procedure the surgeon had to take approval for compassionate use device exemptions (CUDE). However, recently in 2018 the U.S. food and drug administration has approved first ever artificial iris implant CustomFlex, which is specifically used in aniridia patients. The artificial iris itself does not cure or treat the condition, but helps to improve the condition and quality of life. Artificial iris also improves cosmetic appearance of the eye and visual symptoms.

The increasing demand for consumer electronics has driven the adoption of electronic display technologies such as flat panel display. These displays help to provide advanced viewing quality for still images, moving images, and texts across various consumer electronic devices such as personal computers, mobile devices, laptops and others. One of the types of flat panel displays is electroluminescent displays, also known as ELD. The electroluminescent displays are created through joining two plates by keeping a thin film of electroluminescent material in between them. The images displayed on the electroluminescent displays are created by applying electrical signals to the plates that make the phosphor glow. The electroluminescent displays are widely used in three major industry sectors in the market - industrial, instrumentation and transportation. The cost of manufacturing electroluminescent displays such as organic and flexible ELDs for smartphones and laptops is very low leading to the high adoption of these display technologies in the market.

Lung preservation system is an electromechanical device system used in lung transplantation to preserve donor lung prior to transplantation. The system involves various electrical and mechanical components performing ventilation and perfusion using lung preservation solution. By perfusion and ventilation, the essential nutrient and oxygen is supplied to the donor lung. Lung preservation system offers constant monitoring and asses the lungs to ensure fittingness for transplantation, which give doctors an edge in preparing the procedure. The lung preservation systems plays a major role in vital organ preservation. Traditional lung preservation is performed by cold storage preservation, where the lungs are cooled and preserved in ice. The lung preservation systems gives advantage over traditional as it decreases the probability of lung damage by keeping the lungs nourished and warm throughout the transportation from donor to recipient site. Lung transplant is becoming the standard therapy for patients with irreversible respiratory failure. Hence, the lung preservation systems is emerging as the novel way for preserving the lung.

Advancements in technology have led to the development of various digital display devices. Increase in the demand for consumer electronics has further driven the development of digital technologies to make the lives of users more simple and flexible. Among these developments is e-paper display, which is also known as electronic paper display. E-paper displays are display devices that mimic the appearance of a normal ink paper. They reflect light just like paper. E-paper displays provide a platform on which versatile projects can be implemented. E-paper displays are also highly flexible, shatter-proof and lightweight, which has resulted in the high adoption of these displays in the market. The ambient light generated from the environment gets reflected from the surface of the e-paper displays back to the reader's eyes. Through this feature, the text from traditional ink papers is displayed on e-paper displays.
