The global nuclear medicine imaging equipment market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period 2018-2028 and will be worth US$9,879 million by 2028. The growth in this market is primarily driven due to the increasing prevalence of cancer cases globally which has led to an increased demand for diagnostic procedures among various healthcare providers.
Nuclear medicine imaging equipment is a type of medical device which uses radioisotopes to diagnose and treat various diseases. Nuclear medicine images are created by detecting the gamma rays emitted during this process with cameras or computers. This detection provides information about the location, concentration, half-life, and energy level of radioactive substances in an individual's body. Nuclear medicine imaging equipment is widely used in the diagnosis of various types of cancer, brain injury, and dementia as well as for functional testing to locate blockages of blood vessels.
On the basis of type, the global nuclear medicine imaging equipment market is segmented into Full Ring PET Scanners (Positron Emission Tomography), Partial Ring PET Scanners.
Full Ring PET Scanners (Positron Emission Tomography) is a type of nuclear medicine imaging equipment that uses positrons, emitted by a radioactive substance in the human body, to create images. It detects gamma rays with cameras or computers and provides information about the location, concentration, half-life, and energy level of radioactive substances in an organ. It is used to diagnose cancers, brain injury, and dementia as well as for functional testing to locate blockages of blood vessels.
Partial Ring PET Scanners is a type of nuclear medicine imaging equipment that implements an annular detector, which can be fitted to the outside or inside surface of a round ring scanner. It offers more accurate measurements and reduced patient exposure as compared with full ring scanners. They help in diagnosing various diseases like cancer, heart ailments, and neurological disorders. In this type of scanner, only a part of the ring is used to scan an object while all other parts remain static. A major advantage of partial rings is their ability to produce more images per unit time than full rings do because they cover less area; therefore, they are more efficient.
On the basis of application, the global nuclear medicine imaging equipment market is segmented into oncology, cardiology, and other applications.
Nuclear medicine imaging equipment is an indispensable tool for oncology. It helps doctors identify the location and extent of a cancerous tumor in order to plan a comprehensive treatment strategy. Nuclear medicine imaging equipment in oncology is used to detect cancerous and noncancerous tumors before the patient knows they have them. The images can indicate if a lump or lesion is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer), as well as how deeply it has penetrated into nearby tissues such as the lymph nodes.
The application of nuclear medicine imaging equipment in cardiology is to diagnose and monitor the progression of heart disease. The images generated help determine if a person has coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, or arrhythmia/fibrillation since they all affect blood flow through the arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.
Nuclear medicine imaging is also used to evaluate blood flow in the heart and can detect any abnormalities that may exist such as a build-up of plaque or leaking valves. The images are particularly helpful for planning treatment when coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery needs to be performed on people with severe blockages in the arteries.
On the basis of region, the global nuclear medicine imaging equipment market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The North American region is the largest in terms of revenue generated while the market size for other regions is comparatively smaller due to less number of patients getting diagnosed with heart disease.
Growth factors
The growth factors for nuclear medicine imaging equipment are increasing detection of cancer, improved cardiology diagnostics, and higher prevalence of diseases. For instance, a new study in Europe revealed that up to 50% of all cancers could be detected by using PET scans earlier than they would have been otherwise. Increasing demand for PET scanners and rise in awareness about cancer-related diseases such as lung cancer, breast cancer, etc., with an increase in incidence rates due to smoking habits worldwide, are driving up the need for these types of diagnostic methods.
