The Global Medical Ultrasound Equipment Market size is projected to reach USD 3,732.2 million by 2028 from USD 2,434.4 million in 2017, at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period (2021-2028). The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for medical ultrasound machines due to factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the introduction of new technologies coupled with low adoption rates across developing countries.
Medical ultrasound is a technique used to create images of the inside and outside of our bodies. Sound waves move through tissues, bounce off organs, and reflect back into an instrument called a transducer that converts these echoes into pictures for doctors or technicians to read. The device emits sound in rapid pulses at varying frequencies (pulses per second). The sound waves are picked up by a scanner and converted into an image on the monitor, which can then be interpreted. The ultrasound is used for many medical purposes such as observing unborn babies in mothers' wombs, locating kidney stones or gallstones, examining blood flow within arteries and veins, scanning parts of joints to evaluate injuries or inflammation, evaluating abdominal organs like the spleen and liver for injury (acute appendicitis), assessing fetus viability during pregnancy evaluation (screening) and monitoring fetal movement. It's also used to look at some cancers inside body cavities - breast cancer in women who have had mammograms that indicate "suspicious" findings but cannot conclusively diagnose cancer; thyroid nodules if they show signs of becoming cancerous. The ultrasonography was invented in the 1960s and is used mainly by physicians, sonographers (people who operate medical equipment to produce images) like radiologists or cardiologists, midwives, gynecologists for obstetric purposes such as monitoring fetal growth or performing a biophysical profile on pregnant women; emergency medicine personnel for evaluating trauma patients, etc.
On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into two-dimensional (D), three-dimensional and four-dimensional ultrasonography, doppler sonography.
Two-dimensional ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures in the body. The acoustic (sound) energy from this device moves through tissues and reflects off of solid objects such as bone or tissue; echoes are then detected by specialized transducers, converting them into electrical signals that create an image on a computer monitor.
The three-dimensional (or D) ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures in the body. The complexity of these types of scans allows doctors to see different levels within the same structure simultaneously which can be helpful for diagnosing certain illnesses like tumors near nerves or blood vessels. In order for one type of ultrasound scan to become three-dimensional, it has to include more than one frame over time taken at multiple angles around an organ or area. An ultrasound probe is inserted into the body and as it moves around, it captures images that are sent to a computer program which then creates the three-dimensional image of what’s inside your body. The sound waves emitted by an ultrasound machine hit different tissue at different speeds depending on their density giving doctors information about how they are structured in detail.
The first three dimensions are length, width, and height. The fourth dimension is time. Time can be thought of as a camera zooming in on an object to see it more clearly from all angles at once: past, present, and future. This technique has been used for centuries by sculptors who wanted to create perfectly proportioned human figures that would not lose their shape over the years or after changes in humidity levels. With ultrasound imaging we're able to study unborn babies simply because they move with such rapidity inside the womb; this movement creates what's known as "live-action" recordings which enables us to observe them closely without any disruption. Ultrasound images provide detailed pictures of internal organs during examinations and scans so we can examine tissue structure and see how organs work.
A Doppler is an ultrasound technique that uses sound waves to create images of blood flow in areas. It measures the reflection, or "bounce" off moving objects and returns a frequency shift which can be used for medical diagnosis. Doppler ultrasound also uses frequencies that are higher than those used for basic imaging ultrasounds such as ultrasonography, which makes them more sensitive for measuring blood flow velocities through arteries, veins, and other vessels near surfaces like skin and muscle tissue.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into radiography/oncology, cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, mammography/breast emergency medicine.
Medical Ultrasound Equipment in Radiology/Oncology is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of blood flow and other structures inside the body. The ultrasound equipment produces an echoey or sonar-like sound when it sends high frequency signals into tissue, which are then reflected back from moving objects within the human anatomy.
Medical Ultrasound Equipment in Cardiology is a technique used to diagnose the pumping power of heart muscles. It also helps in determining blood flow, blockages, and other abnormalities or diseases related to the cardiovascular system. Medical Ultrasound Equipment in Cardiology works by sending a sound wave into the chest, and then measuring how long it takes for that sound to return. The echoes are analyzed electronically in order to determine their frequency - which can indicate if there is too much or not enough blood flowing through an artery. A computer analyzes the frequencies of these echos and calculates things like heart rate (or pulse) as well as other measurements related to cardiovascular health.
A fetus's growth over time can be monitored with ultrasound equipment during prenatal care for pregnant women. Also known as obstetric ultrasonography, it has been shown to detect most major fetal abnormalities that could result from chromosomal disorders or birth defects such as spina bifida and cleft lip and palate. A doctor performs an obstetric scan by placing a probe on the mother's abdomen before sending sound waves deep into her body where they bounce off the fetus's body. The ultrasound machine then records these echoes and creates a picture of the fetus on an attached screen, allowing for measurements to be taken such as size (length from crown to rump), position, and heartbeat.
The accuracy of obstetric ultrasounds has increased dramatically over time due to technological improvements in equipment which have also allowed for pictures that are crisp enough so that doctors can actually detect facial features, limbs and other distinguishing traits like fingers or toes by 16 weeks gestation. Ultrasound scans prior to 20 weeks cannot reliably predict complications with pregnancy such as birth defects or chromosomal abnormalities but they do monitor progression of maternal health through fetal cardiotocography (CTG). CTGs measure contractions in the uterus during labor using a handheld device.
Mammography is the use of low-energy x-rays to create pictures that can be used in diagnosing breast cancer by medical ultrasound equipment. The mammogram images are recorded on a special film or flat plate detector and then examined by a radiologist who determines if there's any abnormality present. Medical Ultrasound Equipment Systems can also be used for resonating tissue, which helps differentiate between fat and abnormal tissues within the breast because different types produce differing sound frequencies when stimulated with ultrasound waves. These devices typically consist of an ultrasonic probe attached to an amplifier unit, connected electronically through cables to a computer monitor.
Medical Ultrasound Equipment Systems are being increasingly utilized in emergency medicine and oncology as they provide efficient means of diagnosis that does not require sedation or anesthesia. They enable physicians to diagnose blood flow, ascertain lung condition, assess abdominal organs (e.g., kidneys), detect lymph nodes or masses and identify certain diseases like appendicitis; all this without having to wait long periods of time before patients can breathe normally.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa.
North America leads in terms of market share followed by Europe. The market is witnessing high growth in the Asia Pacific region. In North America, Latin America, and Europe, its application has been limited to emergency medicine. The Middle East & Africa have a low penetration of this technology but have shown considerable potential due to factors like increasing awareness about ultrasound equipment among general practitioners as well as growing industries requiring such diagnostic applications (e.g., petroleum).
Increasing disposable incomes of people, which have led to increased healthcare spending on diagnostic imaging services including MRI & CT scans. The rising incidence rate of cancer cases is a factor that creates opportunities for ultrasound devices with high demand from radiologists as well as gynecology departments. Technological advancements leading to reduced costs per unit are factors decreasing disposable incomes, increasing incidence rates of cancer cases, technological advancements leading to reduced costs per unit - all these factors positively affect the growth rate of the global medical ultrasound equipment market. On contrary to this, the high cost associated with such imaging techniques as well as lack of awareness about its use could be restraining factors hampering growth.
