The report offers a comprehensive study of the following market segments and their leading categories:
Subscription software licenses are anticipated to dominate the Market – By Product
According to Ashutosh, Senior Research Analyst at 6Wresearch, There are two segments in the market for AI-enabled imaging modalities: software and hardware. There are three different types of software licenses: fee-per-case, subscription, and perpetual. Subscription software licenses are anticipated to predominate among them because of their affordability and scalability, which allow for broad adoption by healthcare providers. Improvements in imaging technologies are driving further growth in hardware, but software's adaptability and integration potential are probably going to dominate the market.
Orthopedics, cardiology, pulmonary, cancer, and other fields are among the key therapeutic uses. Oncology is anticipated to dominate because of the increasing incidence of cancer and the need for accurate diagnostic instruments. Oncology relies heavily on AI-powered imaging since it supports individualized treatment programs and aids in early tumor detection. The growing number of occurrences of linked disorders worldwide is also driving interest in cardiology and respiratory imaging.
Modalities including mammography, x-rays, ultrasounds, and others are used to divide the market. Ultrasound is expected to be the most popular of these because of its many uses, non-invasive nature, and continuous integration with AI for improved image accuracy. Although mammography and x-rays are still useful for some diagnostic purposes, ultrasonography is a leader in the modality category due to its safety and adaptability.
Image acquisition, image analytics, detection, reporting & communication, diagnostic & treatment decision reporting, and other processes are all part of AI-enabled imaging workflows. Image analytics is poised to take center stage due to the increasing dependence on AI for data interpretation and analysis. This shortens turnaround times while increasing diagnostic accuracy. Workflows for detection and diagnosis are also growing as AI-driven decision-making technologies are further included into healthcare systems.
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa comprise the market's geographic segments. North America's strong healthcare system, large R&D expenditures, and widespread use of AI technology are projected to keep it at the top of the market. Improving healthcare systems and the growing emphasis on implementing AI in diagnostics, particularly in nations like China and India, are also making the Asia Pacific region a major growth sector.
