Report Forecasts Growth of Global Computed Tomography Sector to USD 6 billion by 2019

A new report has been published that analyzes global Computed Tomography (CT) market shares, strategies, and forecasts, for the years 2013 to 2018.

The report entitled “Global Computed Tomography (CT) Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2013 to 2018,” predicts that global CT markets will continue to grow moderately and reach USD 6 billion by the year 2019, up from USD 3.7 billion in 2012.

The main drivers of growth in developed nations are an aging population, an increase in the incidence of chronic diseases, congestive heart failure, and diabetes. Growth will be inhibited in developed markets by fiscal deficits.

Trends in the global CT market include an increase in the demand for multi-slice scanners, and for independent diagnostic centers, instead of full multidisciplinary hospitals. Other trends include continued improvement in CT image quality, reduced radiation dose by increasing scanning speeds and shortening of examination times.

High end CT imaging scanners need to be used in conjunction with advanced image management and archival systems. These systems also integrate with Electronic Medical Records (EMR), and molecular imaging, and Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) systems to ensure effective distribution of images to clinicians.

The report was published by the Market Research Store (Mount Macedon, Australia) and can be downloaded online (please see Related Links below). The focus of clinical research in CT includes dose reduction, and the evaluation of the hemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis.
