How evolution of imaging technology has helped in better diagnoses

The healthcare sector has witnessed remarkable changes in the last decade. There has been an increase in the usage of innovative and sensitive diagnostic tools, and this is resulting in advancements in healthcare facilities. The evolution of imaging technology has contributed to the development of better diagnoses and clinical interventions.

Advancements in the field of computed tomography (CT) scanners have enabled healthcare professionals to visualize minor details in the human body within minutes. Globally, companies manufacturing CT scanners are making greater investments in the development of devices with lower radiation doses and better imaging quality. Increased usage of premium and portable scanners has further accounted for the growth of the CT scanners market..

CT scanners are being widely used in hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers and research institutes. These imaging modalities find application in oncological, neurological, thoracic, abdominal scanning and more. CT imaging is becoming a common procedure used for the diagnosis, treatment planning and study of the prognosis of diseases. CT scanning, with relatively short scan times and enhanced detailed information, are becoming the method of choice in emergency cases, which require quick decision-making. CT scans have become an essential part of diagnostic studies.

Apart from diagnostic purposes, CT scanners have also helped widely in guided therapies. Oncology, cardiovascular, neurology and others (guided procedures, spine, chest/thorax, pelvic/abdominal) are the categories under the market by application. The regional markets are segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW).

The end users of CT scanners are segmented into hospitals and clinics, diagnostics labs and research and academics. The hospital and clinic segment accounts for the largest share of the market (48.9%) and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% over the forecast period of 2022 to 2027.

The report addresses the whole market for CT scanners, focusing on the various types of CT scanners used, which include low-tier CT scanners (64 slices), portable scanners and cone beam CT scanners. The report also covers four main areas of applications: oncology, cardiovascular, neurology and others (guided procedures, spine, chest/thorax, pelvic/abdominal). The report also covers the market for CT scanners by end user. The end users of CT scanners considered in this report are hospitals and clinics, diagnostics labs and research and academics. Cone beam computed tomography is not included in the market by end user and application as this modality is generally used in dentistry and for maxillofacial scanning. In this study, the publisher has attempted to estimate the market for computed tomography scanners based on revenue.

The new segments such as low-tier (64 slices), portable CT scanners, cone beam CT scanners, hospitals and clinics, diagnostics labs, research and academics, oncology, cardiology, neurology are sub-segmented by regions.
