DECEMBER - 20186The development in medical imaging over the past decades has given way to a lot of benefits for the patient care. The advancements in this sector have greatly improved the ability of physicians to detect, diagnose, and treat disease, thereby helping patients live longer. The growth rate of imaging reflects advances in imaging technologies and expanded applications that have occurred over the years, for instance, high-tech imaging services such as multi-section computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography. Also, the ongoing move towards value-based patient care is becoming one among the hot topics in the healthcare industry. Due to the growth of population aging there is an increase in the rates of chronic diseases; such as cancers, diabetes, and heart disease and the efficient use of medical imaging equipment will be help provide high-quality patient care. Although, the market holds great promise, it is still in the early adopter phase. With technologies such as AI and machine learning, the diagnostic imaging industry is going to be transformed. The growing demand for remote medical imaging technologies and POC testing devices will drive the growth of the medical imaging market over the next few years. Based on the application, AI is currently used to sort data, apply transformations that help with interpretation, diagnoses, and even to perform actual diagnoses. To that end, AI will definitely play a key role in enabling radiology departments to cope with the ever-increasing volume of diagnostic imaging procedures.In the near future, application of 3D and 4D technologies can create better images for improved diagnostics in radiology. As we look ahead, exciting trends in medical imaging will continue as the impact of new modalities continues to unfold. We hope the valuable insights from the industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from the leading companies featured in this edition will help you in making informed decisions in your organizations.
