Computed axial tomography (CAT), popularly known as computed tomography (CT), has diversified applications in the healthcare industry. CT uses computer-processed X-ray images taken from different angles, and combines them to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of the scanned object. This allows medical practitioners to get an internal view of an object without dissecting it. Constant developments in technology and supportive government policies for healthcare funding are expected to boost the growth of the market. In addition, growing incidence of chronic diseases, need for early diagnosis, and high clinical utility of CT are expected to drive the market. Factors such as high installation cost of CT systems and side effects due to radiation exposure hinder the market growth.

The leading CT scanner technologies considered in this report include high-end slice CT scanners, mid-end slice CT scanners, and low-end slice CT scanners. High-end slice CT scanners are the most popular and fastest growing type, and is expected to contribute to significant share of the market. The high-end slice CT scanners include more than 64 slice, open versions, and cardiac CT. The mid-end slice CT scanners includes multi slice CT (3-64 slices). The low-end slice CT scanners include single and dual slice CT. CT scanners are used in oncology, cardiology, vascular, and neurology. The report is segmented into five regions namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

In the recent years, major players focused on collaborating with other players for the development and distribution of advanced CT scanners and increase their market presence. For instance, Siemens Healthcare collaborated with National Institute of Healths (NIH) Clinical Center to develop advanced CT scanners known as photon-counting detector CT scanners and enhance the quality of imaging and reduce exposure to radiation. The leading players profiled in the report include GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, Hitachi Medical Corporation, NeuroLogica Corporation (a subsidiary of Samsung), and others.
