GIA declared that a new market research report on Computed Tomography (CT) Scanners market has been released. Global installed base of CT Scanners has been predicted to reach more than 67,000 units by 2017.
Over the years, the CT scanners market has witnessed transformations owing to the replacement of obsolete techniques with advanced technologies. Advanced high-slice CT scanners provide rapid imaging and better imaging area than the previously-used equivalent imaging techniques. The emerging CT scanners are capable of generating cardiovascular and neurology images of high resolution, which is further enhanced by incorporating larger detectors.
CT scanner retailers, who previously intended to increase scanners’ slices, are now focused on fundamental application challenges like dose management, advanced visualization, functional imaging with organ perfusion and tissue characterization, and dual energy techniques. Hence, the market remains dynamic. Development of cone beam artifact reduction technologies are now prevailing in the industries, enabling minimal radiation dosage and larger coverage.
In addition, the CT scan markets are showing progress with the development of multi-energy detector -systems and hybrid scanners with CT and positron emission tomographs (PET) technologies that ensure effective oncology treatment management.
The new market research report on CT scanners states that the US markets continue to remain powerful. Headed by the BRIC nations, the CT scan markets in the developing countries are lucrative. The major potential for CT scanner producers is manifested in the developing countries with low CT scanners installation rate of less than 5 units per million people. The CT scan market will demonstrate further increase in those countries due to rapid economic development and the growing healthcare awareness initiatives implemented by the government.
