CT scan is also known as computerized axial tomography (CAT). It is a diagnostic medical test which produces multiple images of the internal body parts through X-rays. The computed technology uses sophisticated X-ray technology which helps to diagnose a range of diseases and conditions of an individual patient. CT scan is non-invasive, painless, less time consuming, and is an accurate diagnostic technique. CT scan images of internal organs, soft tissue, blood vessels, and bones give better details than the conventional X-rays, mainly of soft tissues and blood vessels. It is used in emergency cases to reveal the internal bleeding and injuries. As it provides a comprehensive cross-sectional outlook of all types of tissue it is considered as one of the most accurate and fastest tools to examine the abdomen, pelvis, and chest issues.
Continuous progress and innovation in the medical devices let the end-users to expand their medical indications for use and applications in the future. Increasing preference of the patients for minimally invasive diagnostic procedures is the major factor triggering the growth of the global CT scanner market. Moreover rising prevalence of targeted diseases and growing patient emphasis on early disease diagnosis will fuel the market for CT scan devices globally. However, the CT scanner is cost intensive equipment and its high cost is anticipated to restrict the growth of the market in the underdeveloped economies.
The global CT scanner market is segmented by product type, modality, technology, end-users, and by region. Based on product type, the market is segmented into C-Arm CT scanners and O-Arm CT scanners.
