Global Diagnostic Imaging Devices Market Asia-Pacific to Witness<br />

Highest Growth by 2020<br />

In December 2013, Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced a new development in<br />

X-ray technology. Usually, X-rays cannot image the body’s soft tissues and imaging to an<br />

extent is only possible after contrast-enhancing agents are administered to the patient.<br />

The result however, offers limited resolution. With the help of the new technology, detailed<br />

and clear images of soft tissues would be visible without any need for contrast agents. X-ray<br />

devices segment contribute majorly towards the global diagnostic imaging devices market.<br />

This latest breakthrough in the X-ray technology is expected to propel the demand for<br />

advanced X-ray devices, thereby pushing the growth of overall diagnostic imaging devices<br />

market.<br />

Technological Advancements in Various Diagnostic Imaging Devices Will Drive its Demand<br />

Technological advancements play a crucial role in the growth of the diagnostic imaging<br />

devices market. For example, in the last decade ultrasound technology has developed from<br />

black and white 2D images to multi-dimensional and live action views inside the womb.<br />

The HDlive ultrasound technology developed by GE Healthcare generates realistic images of<br />

the human fetus from sonographic data.<br />

The multi-dimensional view lets doctors see the vascular system, the heart, the brain, and the<br />

other organs of the baby to diagnose any abnormalities.


Radiologists usually face difficulties in visualizing smaller lesions while administering smaller<br />

radiation doses. The latest PET/CT scanner offers largest axial field-of-view to help radiologists<br />

see the smaller lesions. Diagnostic imaging devices manufacturers such as Philips, Toshiba,<br />

and GE Healthcare are focusing on providing high image quality scanning with lowest possible<br />

exposure doses.<br />

MRI scanners have undergone a number of technological advancements.<br />

The older MRI scanners were like a tunnel, where the patient had to lie down for about 40-60<br />

minutes to undergo complete scan. Patients suffered from claustrophobia as well as back and<br />

neck pain from lying still for a prolonged period.


The open MRI scanners have tried to solve these problems. Lately, short bore magnets have<br />

been introduced which combine the accuracy of the tunnel scanner and the comfort of an<br />

open MRI scan to provide the highest quality images. Siemens Healthcare is working on a<br />

project to develop a human brain scanner to acquire adequate knowledge to make correct<br />

diagnoses and offer treatment for various neuropsychiatric illnesses.<br />

The MRI technology is constantly improving, although the end consumers (doctors and their<br />

patients) are bearing the brunt.<br />

Patient’s Comfort - a Priority while Introducing Technological Advancements<br />

With the increasing demand for better diagnostic imaging devices, the manufacturers are<br />

investing heavily in the research and development activities. Various regulations such as the<br />

Healthcare Act in the U.S. has focused more on increased speed in diagnosis and patient<br />

comfort. According to a senior manager in Toshiba, it has become important for the<br />

manufacturers to improve patient satisfaction through technological innovations.<br />

This will further pave the path for tremendous growth in the global diagnostic imaging devices<br />

market.<br />
