Integration of portable CT scanners and PACS

The advances in technologies in the healthcare sector will augment the demand for the integration of medical imaging equipment with PACS. The integration of these systems will help hospitals with the storage, management, and retrieval of a huge volume of medical images. These machines are designed for enhanced productivity in the digital imaging sector and will revolutionize the workflow in radiology, cardiology, and other medical facilities. Moreover, the advent of 3D in medical imaging, data management, and retrieval will help with the sales of these devices in the market.

Growing focus on the development of PET/MRI hybrid imaging systems

The combination of PET scanners with anatomical imaging and functional imaging data will bring MRI’s optimal soft tissue classification and imaging without ionizing radiation. These systems will also provide quantitative data on the density and profusion of tumors. The introduction of integrated PET and MRI systems will improve the clinical assessment of different types of cancers such as brain cancer, pancreas cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer.
