Medical digital imaging is a method used to picture the internal configuration of patient for the detection of a disease or diagnosis the problem in the early stage. There has been tremendous rise in the number of patient with chronic diseases because of changing lifestyle and unhealthy diets. Chronic diseases such as dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, and hyperinsulinemia are very common among a large number of the global population. The increasing cases of these diseases have raised the demand for quality and precision of diagnosis. Some of the major technology used in the digital imaging for healthcare are positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are highly effective as compared to other technology such as angiography, arthrography, and myelography. The digital imaging offers several benefits such as fast diagnosis, reduced risk of data damage, and easy access to radiology studies.

The COVID-19 pandemic, in the first half of 2020, has adversely impacted the market as the world witnessed lockdowns, travel restrictions, and heavy burden on the healthcare sectors. However, with the high demand for the CT scan for the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection in the lungs of the patient, the market had come back to the right track. The increasing research activities for the use of digital imaging in regards to the detection and treatment of COVID-19 patients have boosted the market. The digital imaging offers several advantages to the diagnosis of various infectious diseases.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Extensive research and development activities for the improvement of the technology for better and fast results of digital imaging devices is expected to propel the market growth in the coming years.
• Heavy investments by the key players as well as government agencies for the development of the innovative diagnostic technology is a key factor for market growth.
• Increased awareness among the population for the importance of early diagnosis of the diseases as well as rising medical tourism is a major driver of the market.
• Strict regulatory policies and increasing cost associated with digital imaging diagnostic procedures are major factor restricting the market expansion.

Market Segment Insights

Nuclear imaging segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace

Based on types, the global medical digital imaging systems market is divided into MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and nuclear imaging. The nuclear imaging segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace owing to the development new radiotracers, new product launches, and high cancer incidences around the world. As per the report by the American Cancer Society in 2019, around 1,762,400 number of cancer patients were reported in the U.S. Additionally, the improvement of radiotracers as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) that offer certain advantages such as less radiation exposure and fast results are anticipated to contribute significantly for the segment growth.

Meanwhile, the MRI and CT segment are also expected to grow at significant growth rates during the forecast period due to the constant improvement is the technology and extensive research activities. The presence of new technology for these devices is a major contributing factor for the segment growth.
