Recent Development for 3D Medical Imaging Services Market:
September 2022- GE Healthcare has received clearance from the US FDA 510(k) for their innovative AIR Recon DL technology for 3D and PROPELLER imaging sequences. This breakthrough technology offers significant benefits to nearly all Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinical procedures, ensuring better image quality, shorter scan times, and an improved patient experience. These features cover all anatomies and procedures, making it an invaluable tool for medical professionals.
The development of 3D imaging techniques is expected to offer new horizons, such as offering healthcare professionals detailed, volumetric information that significantly enhances their potential to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. Creating a 3D image typically involves the reconstruction of multiple 2D slices or projections, which are then combined to form a comprehensive view of the body’s internal structures. These 3D imaging technologies are employed in various medical applications. For example, they allow for more precise localization and characterization of tumors and improved diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases, in addition to enhanced surgical planning for orthopedic procedures and better visualization of the brain’s anatomy and function. 3D Medical Imaging has radically transformed over the past century, driven by constant innovation and technological advancements. 3D imaging has marked a significant turning point in radiology and nuclear medicine by providing healthcare professionals with a powerful and versatile tool for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating various disease states. The evolution from the rudimentary X-ray technology of the past to the sophisticated 3D imaging modalities employed today has genuinely transformed medicine, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes which are expected to drive the market growth of 3D medical imaging services during the forecast period. Moreover, the future of 3D medical imaging is promising, as it is poised for numerous advancements in the near future. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms with 3D imaging is fascinating. This combination is anticipated to transform medical imaging by automating image analysis, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and personalizing treatment planning. Furthermore, the fusion of 3D imaging with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies promises to revolutionize medical education, surgical planning, and patient engagement by offering immersive, interactive experiences, creating opportunities for market players to grow their revenue for this target market. However, the generation and manipulation of 3D images require substantial computing power and specialised software, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Some 3D imaging techniques, such as CT scans, involve exposure to ionising radiation. While efforts are continuously being made to minimise radiation doses, the risk of radiation exposure must always be considered, particularly in pregnant women and children. The quality of 3D images can be affected by various factors, including patient movement, image noise, and artefacts. These issues are predicted to potentially impact the diagnostic accuracy and utility of 3D imaging which is expected to further limit market growth.
