Global 3D Medical Imaging Market to Reach US$5.9 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Friday, July 29th, 2011

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn 3D medical imaging technology represents an advanced integrated solution in the field of medical imaging for making faster and accurate diagnosis possible and improving patient throughput as well. This in turn helps in achieving higher success rates through better treatment outcomes. Advanced capabilities, such as 3D and 4D imaging, are now a reality given the technological innovations that have made computing of multiple probe signals in a given time possible, across various imaging modalities. Above all, the 3D imaging has given the ultrasound segment a major thrust during the past few years. From a technological perspective, developments in this promising field have been rapid and also driven by the growing inclination towards portable light weight and 3D imaging equipment.

As stated by the new market research report on 3D Medical Imaging, Europe represents the largest regional market, although the US constitutes the single largest market globally. The escalating usage of MRI, CT, and ultrasound imaging has fuelled growth of the European market for 3D medical imaging market. In Europe, the 3D imaging segment has expanded over the recent years as applications became increasingly affordable. In addition, there is an increasing popularity for 3D as a tool for rapid diagnosis that is capable of tackling large amounts of medical data produced daily in hospitals across Europe, resulting in enhanced workflow efficiency.

Asia-Pacific is likely to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 17.5% over the analysis period. MRI & CT represents the largest segment, and is projected to record the fastest CAGR of 14% over the analysis period. Characterized by the larger population, increasing number of hospitals and diagnostic centers, as well as supported by a fair knowledge of advanced technologies and increasing purchasing power, Asia-Pacific represents a potential market for 3D medical imaging.
