3 Source: OBRC Analysis Diagnostic Imaging Technologies provide imagery feedback on a patient's physical condition, which is then used to diagnose, monitor or treat medical conditions, thus playing an important role in improving public health of all age groups. Diagnostic imaging is one of the largest segments in the healthcare market. Conventional technologies like X-rays, MRI scan, computed tomography and ultrasound are the key imaging methodologies being used. However, diagnostic imaging is swiftly changing with the emergence of advanced technologies. The need of more accurate and precise diagnostic technologies is driving the market forward. There are a higher numbers of tests being performed annually as compared to the earlier decade. Hence, the conventional technologies need to evolve to meet the burden. Current technologies like MRI scanners and CT scanners are large in size and expensive. The tests are also time consuming. There is a distinct need for cost effective and portable technologies in the market. Diagnostic facilities for the large populations living in rural and remote areas nee to be increases as in some areas are devoid of even primary health care, this requires attention. It is driving the advancements in point of care systems and remote diagnostics. The emerging diagnostic imaging market is segmented on the basis of applications such as advanced conventional technologies, remote diagnostics, point-of-care diagnostics, nuclear medicine, biomarkers, imaging agents and other emerging technologies. The report includes emerging technologies which are commercialized and which are going through final phases of approvals. Market covered in the emerging diagnostic imaging are North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle-East and Africa (MEA) and Asia-Pacific.

Increase in the Number of Diagnosis Per Year: The number of diagnostic imaging tests has increased rapidly in the past decade ( ). As per the data of United Kingdom the number of test being performed in UK has increased by ten million between 2004 and The number of tests performed in was 30,684,845 which have increased to 42,921,032 in These tests only include the conventional methods such as X-ray, MRI, CT scan, fluoroscopy and ultrasound. Number of Diagnostic Imaging Tests Performed in The United Kingdom Diagnostic Tests 50,000,000 45,000,000 40,000,000 35,000,000 30,000,000 25,000,000 20,000,000 15,000,000 10,000,000 5,000, Year The diagnostic equipment of conventional technologies are over burdened with the hospitals and diagnostic centers having limited resources and budgets, especially in emerging markets like India and China. Hence there is requirement of machines that are capable of performing multiple diagnoses. Portable diagnostic machines are one of the major advancement which enables providing point-of-care assistance and reaching out to more number of patients. 2. Providing Diagnostic Solutions in Remote Areas: One of the major concerns for the government and health institutions is the unavailability of primary health care to a major population in the world. A majority of Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America has populations living in rural and remote areas. It is difficult to establish hospital and diagnostic centers in these areas. The emergence of technologies such as remote diagnosis and point of care solution is important in providing basic diagnostic facilities in these areas. Occams Business Research and Consulting 3

5 3. Patients Demanding More Accuracy and Clarity in Their Scans: Patients and clinicians have been demanding imaging technologies which are accurate and provide high field scans. Patients and clinicians are ready to spend higher prices if the quality provided by diagnostic imaging machines and agents is high. This enables in better diagnosis of the diseases and followed by more precise treatment. This is forcing both hospitals and manufacturers to come up with more advanced technologies. The demand has led to major changes in the technologies such as generation 1 CT scanners had one or two single beam detectors whereas the 4th generation CT scanners have 3600 detectors, moving tables and provide 4D images. The 5th generation CT scanners are moving towards smaller and safer theme with increased networking capabilities and intelligence. One of the most revolutionary techniques to hit the market is Positron emitting tomography (PET). The first PET/CT was commercially used in the year This technology has provided more accuracy to the CT scans. 4. Emergence of Non Conventional Technologies: The conventional methods such as MRI, CT, X ray are still the most widely used diagnostic techniques. However newer techniques are emerging such as nuclear medicines and biomarker in the diagnosis of cancer and cardiology and emergence of wireless technologies such as mobiles and biometric sensors. Wireless technology provides remote diagnosis capabilities and self monitoring techniques for the clinicians and patients respectively.
