The global market for Contrast Media is projected to reach US$5.3 billion by 2025, driven by the growing number of imaging procedures such as X-Rays, MRI, CT, and Ultrasound supported by the prevalence of chronic diseases among the growing global population and the ensuing diagnostic burden and demand for imaging services. The global burden of chronic diseases can be put into perspective by the fact that it is the leading cause of death and disability in the world.

A major portion of this expenditure will be spent on medical imaging procedures such as X-Rays, CT scan (computed tomography scan), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine imaging, including positron-emission tomography (PET), among other emerging hybrid imaging technologies. As an extremely important aspect of medical practice, imaging has and still continues to revolutionize the world of healthcare. Medical imaging helps in early detection and diagnosis of diseases at a stage when they can be easily treated and of late has been assuming even greater importance as the world healthcare migrates to the tenets of preventative care. Better diagnosis has a direct and a positive impact on therapy procedures and treatment planning. The rise of imaging based surgical strategies to safely handle complicated surgeries is also helping push up the importance of medical imaging. Read More…
