Global Endoscopy Ultrasound Market to Reach USD 1 Billion by 2026
The global endoscopy ultrasound market was valued at approximately USD 650 million in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5.0% from 2018 to 2026 to reach USD 1.0 billion by 2026. The market growth is being driven by an increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, rise in endoscopy ultrasound applications as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for GI cancers and other pancreatic conditions, and growing number of new and advanced products introduced in the global market. However, the lack of training and educational programs conducted and implemented globally is leading to a shortage of adequately trained professionals who are adept at performing endoscopy ultrasound techniques. This has resulted in a gap between demand for and supply of endoscopy ultrasound procedures globally, thereby restraining market growth. More...12 Jul 2018
Global Contrast Injectors Market Driven by Increasing Chronic Diseases
The global contrast injectors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.07% over the forecast period 2018-2022, driven primarily by increasing chronic diseases. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for medical devices such as contrast injectors for treating such chronic illness arising from the growing incidence of cardiovascular diseases as a result of obesity and increase in blood pressure. These are the latest findings of Research and Markets, a global market research company. More...10 Jul 2018
Researchers Use AI to Improve Mammogram Interpretation
A team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory successfully used artificial intelligence to improve understanding of the cognitive processes involved in image interpretation. Their work, which was published in the Journal of Medical Imaging, will help reduce errors in the analyses of diagnostic images by health professionals and has the potential to improve health outcomes for women affected by breast cancer.

MIT Researchers Develop AI Tool That Compares 3D Scans
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have submitted a pair of conference papers describing a machine-learning algorithm that can register brain scans and other 3D images more than 1,000 times more quickly using novel learning techniques. The algorithm works by “learning” while registering thousands of pairs of images and acquiring information during this process about how to align the images and estimating some optimal alignment parameters. After training, the algorithm uses those parameters to map all pixels of one image to another simultaneously. This reduces registration time to a minute or two using a normal computer, or less than a second using a GPU with accuracy similar to state-of-the-art systems. More...26 Jun 2018
Global Portable Ultrasound Market to Continue Growth over 2018-2024
The global portable ultrasound devices market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.50% over the forecast period of 2018-2024, driven by the increased use of these devices due to their wide range of benefits. However, the high cost of portable ultrasound systems can hinder the market growth. These are the latest findings of Research and Markets, a global market research company. More...26 Jun 2018
