Spectral computed tomography is a technique that involves the visualization of tissue composition. It determines the atomic number of the tissues in the body. In addition, if the patient has received iodinated contrast, spectral computed tomography can determine the iodine amount in the tissues, which further helps in visually subtracting the iodine. The energy of the image can be altered on a sliding scale. Spectral computed tomography uses two X-ray photon energy spectra, which allows the interrogation of materials that have different attenuation properties at different energy ranges. It can be used to reconstruct numerous image types such as weighted average images, electron density maps, virtual monoenergetic images, material decomposition images, and effective atomic number maps.
Impact of COVID-19 on Medical Device Market
COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in the Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.
Increase has been witnessed in the demand for medical supplies to take care of the infected population. Respiratory support devices such as atomizers, life support machines, oxygen generators, and monitors are among the majorly used medical devices in primary clinical treatment. Moreover, COVID-19 has led to a huge surge in demand for medical supplies such as personal protective equipment, including masks, gloves, and protective eyeglasses. In addition, the need for medical supplies has increased considerably, both from healthcare professionals and the civil population for precautionary measures, owing to rise in the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide. Manufacturers of these products have a chance to capitalize on this increased demand for medical supplies to ensure an adequate and continuous supply of personal protective equipment in the market. Therefore, COVID 19 is expected to have a significant impact on the spectral computed tomography market.
Top Impacting Factors
The major driving factors of the global spectral computed tomography market include rise in geriatric population across the world, increase in prevalence of chronic diseases, preference for image-guided interventions, and advancement in the medical technology field.
The medical field is adapting IT in diagnostics, such as the use of artificial intelligence with computed tomography to improve the imaging techniques, which is a major factor that boosts the growth of the spectral computed tomography market. It has created multiple growth opportunities in the healthcare sector, as this sector needs product efficacy at every level of product usage.
However, high cost of spectral computed tomography may create a hurdle in the growth of the market globally. In addition, the easy availability of other traditional imaging methods such as CT and MRI is projected to hamper the spectral computed tomography market growth during the forecast period.
Key Market Trends
The prominent players of the spectral computed tomography market are focused on strategies such as innovations and demand increment through sales and marketing. Mergers & acquisitions and development in products are some key strategies of prominent players in the market suc h as Koninklijke Philips N.V. and Neurosoft Medical Systems.
In March 2018, Koninklijke Philips N.V. entered a 15-year strategic partnership ZorgSaam Hospital. This hospital is based in the Netherlands. As per the agreement, ZorgSaam will be provided with a wide range of image-guided therapy solutions and diagnostic imaging from Koninklijke Philips N.V.
In March 2019, Koninklijke Philips N.V. announced the expansion of its radiology solutions portfolio. This expansion is to be done with teleradiology services. Teleradiology includes the medical imaging exams’ image interpretations. Some of these exams are X-rays, MR, and CT. This complements Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s organic innovation initiatives as well.
