(PharmaNewsWire.Com, January 06, 2018 ) Latin America CT Scan Market was worth $0.69 billion in 2016 and estimated to reach $0.87 billion by the end of 2021 with a CAGR of 4.69 %. CT Scan (Computed Tomography) is an imaging of the body that uses tomography and digital geometry to generate a 3D image of the internal organs of a body. It makes use of a series of two-dimensional x-rays which are taken around a single-axis of rotation and then generated to form the 3D image. The evolution of CT scanners has advanced to the point where the number of slices per rotation no longer is the benchmark for performance. The multi-slice feature has evolved CT from simply a diagnostic tool into an interventional modality. Though the most of the CT scanners are still used as general systems, some are being modified for specific purposes such as bone densitometry or cardiovascular studies. There is an increasing demand for high slice CT. The high slice CT scan is expected to improve the clinical utility considerably, as the introduction of 256 slice scanner, which has a detector width of 10 to 12 cm would help in scanning organs, including brain, heart, entire joints, and lungs and liver, within a single rotation.
Rapidly growing demand for bedside imaging, home healthcare, and growing use of CT scan to assess the accuracy of post interventional medical procedures, medical implants and anatomical confirmation are some of the main factors driving industry growth. Also, a never-ending increase in the number of medical implants surgeries owing to unhealthy lifestyles as well as growing base of geriatric population is likely to increase demand. Significant advances in imaging technologies promise to improve wellness through quicker and more precise detection of medical conditions. CT imaging radiation dose continues to be an area of concern. A lot of patients and medical associations have raised this issue and raised their voice against the possible side-effects of CT scanning. The industry continues to try to reduce exposure while ensuring image quality.
Some of the major players in this market are GE Healthcare, Hitachi Medical Corporation, Hitachi Medical Systems America, Inc., NeuroLogica Corporation, Neusoft Medical Systems Co. Ltd., Philips Healthcare, Shenzhen Anke High-Tech Co., Siemens Healthcare, and Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation.
