What Types of Diagnostic Methods are Commonly Patented?
Several types of diagnostic methods can be patented, including:
Biomarker Detection: Methods for identifying specific biomarkers, such as proteins, genes, or other molecules, that indicate the presence of cancer. Imaging Techniques: Innovations in imaging technologies, like MRI, CT scans, and PET scans, that improve the accuracy and resolution of cancer detection. Genetic Testing: Methods for analyzing genetic material to identify mutations or alterations associated with cancer risk. Liquid Biopsies: Techniques for detecting cancer-related molecules in bodily fluids, such as blood or urine, offering a non-invasive diagnostic option. Artificial Intelligence: Algorithms and software that use AI to analyze medical data and identify potential cancer cases more accurately.
