Diagnostic Imaging Market: Overview

The second half-century of the twentieth century witnessed a paradigm shift in medical diagnostics methods with the emergence of major imaging devices such as X-ray imaging & emission tomography including PET and nuclear imaging. In addition to this, MRI and ultrasound were some of the other diagnostic imaging methods that were used in next half of the twentieth century. Furthermore, these diagnostic imaging techniques make use of the complete width of the electromagnetic spectrum from gamma rays to radio waves as well as sound waves. In recent years, diagnostic imaging has become a key part of the overall healthcare system. Radiographs were the only kind of diagnostic imaging for many decades. However, the need for improvements in diagnostic imaging techniques has resulted in the introduction of 2-dimensional diagnostic, 3-dimensional medical imaging, 4-dimensional imaging, molecular imaging, and functional imaging techniques in current times.

Diagnostic imaging is a technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Diagnostic imaging seeks to reveal internal structures covered below the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Diagnostic imaging is part of biological imaging and incorporates radiology which uses the imaging technologies of X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, medical ultrasonography or ultrasound and others.

The market of global diagnostic imaging has been accelerated by the rising geriatric population and growing occurrences of chronic diseases across the globe. Another major driver is the growing pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries worldwide. Moreover, growth in the number of diagnostic imaging centers coupled with the growing prevalence of cancer is expected to fuel the growth of the global diagnostic imaging market. However, the high cost related to the machinery and its implementation is a major restraint that may limit the growth of the market. Nonetheless, advancement in technology is likely to disclose new avenues for the diagnostic imaging market soon.
