Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Systems: Market Size, Segmentation, Opportunities, Trends, Growth and Industry Forecast To 2020

Overview:

Imaging technologies such as X-ray, CT, ultrasound and MRI are the most common imaging modules used for diagnostics and other practices. Among these technologies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly becoming the most preferred imaging module due to the offered advantages such as image precision, accuracy and minimum hazards from radiation exposure. MRI imaging can also produce 3D isotropic images and efficiently deliver soft tissue images, thus adding to the popularity of this technology in the global market.

The global MRI systems market is majorly driven by growing awareness about the benefits from MRI, technological innovations thus delivering precise imaging, and demand for high field scan. This technology is rapidly gaining foothold in emerging markets of China, India, Middle East and Latin America, due to high prevalence of chronic conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal conditions, and neurological conditions. Considering such potential opportunities, international players are gradually establishing their bases in these regions to enhance their revenue generation and geographic reach. However, unfavorable reimbursement for latest technologies, and lack of skilled radiologists may hold back the growth of MRI systems industry in developed markets.
