Radiology is a part of the medical field that deals with the use of advanced imaging techniques to visualize the human and animal bodies, thus allowing recognition, monitoring, and management of diseases. Besides, this is a function that integrates different medical specialists who, based on their imaging results, decide the most appropriate treatment, which in turn makes radiology the most important system of the 21st-century health system.
Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases: The rise in the incidences of chronic diseases as cancer, heart diseases, and diabetes has been a major driver of the use of advanced imaging technologies that are the correct and early diagnosis, thus pushing the market upward counting. In addition, the necessity for regular monitoring and after-treatment care in patients has led the use of radiology services to a large extent, which has been a key element in the positive momentum of the radiology market with the assistance of technology and market access.
Challenges
Numerous barriers limit the radiology market, one such is the exorbitant prices of the equipment and upkeep, another the lack of skilled radiologists and, most possibly, the fear of radiation exposure. Moreover, apart from the difficulties in the regulatory environment, the non-availability of advanced imaging facilities in underdeveloped regions is hindering the market from tapping the potential customer base and thus, by getting a slow growth.
