Dublin, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Markets for CT Scanners" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The healthcare sector has witnessed remarkable changes in the last decade.
There has been an increase in the usage of innovative and sensitive diagnostic tools, which are resulting in advancements in healthcare facilities. The evolution of imaging technology has contributed to the development of better diagnoses and clinical interventions.
Advancements in the field of computed tomography (CT) scanners have allowed healthcare professionals to visualize minor details in the human body within minutes. Globally, companies manufacturing CT scanners are making greater investments in the development of devices with lower radiation dose and with better imaging quality. Increased usage of premium and portable scanners have further accounted for the growth of the CT scanner market.
In the last decade, the global market for CT scanners has witnessed a noteworthy increase. There have been many advancements in mid-tier, premium and portable CT scanners. These advances have helped immensely in the diagnosis of various disorders such as cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, and cancer.
As stated by Mr. Amit Kumar Singh, (Senior Radiographer from North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health Education and Research), The CT scanner has now become the backbone of the radiology department as it plays an immense role in the diagnosis of various types of disease.
CT scanners have replaced the use of X-rays and ultrasounds in the healthcare sector to a large extent. Some key players in this industry include Siemens Healthineers, Toshiba America Medical Systems (acquired by Canon Inc.), Philips Medical Systems BV, Hitachi Medical Systems, and Neusoft Medical Systems Co. Ltd.
CT scanners are being widely used in hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and research institutes. These imaging modalities find application in oncological, neurological, thoracic, abdominal scanning and more. CT imaging is becoming a common procedure used for the diagnosis, treatment planning and study of the prognosis of diseases.
CT scanning, with relatively short scan times and enhanced detailed information, is becoming the method of choice in emergency cases, which require quick decisionmaking. CT scans have become an essential part of diagnostic studies. Apart from diagnostic purposes, CT scanners have also helped widely in guided therapies.
