Medical Imaging Market

Medical imaging is one of the fastest-growing markets today according to industry analyst Frost & Sullivan. Breakthroughs in ultrasound have reinvigorated the breast ultrasound market with higher resolution, richer content, image fusion, and 3D volume imaging. The number of images in each study and the complexity of each study is rapidly increasing. The challenge to offer superb medical care is made all the greater by the steep global decline in the number of doctors who specialize in reading medical images. These trends, moreover, are emerging in a society where the desire for enhanced healthcare and improved quality of life are compelling practitioners to diagnose acute conditions at earlier stages, when they are more difficult to identify in a medical image. All of these market factors intensify the need for highly advanced imaging assistance and workflow tools that help physicians work more productively and accurately.
