Handheld Imaging Devices Market Is Gaining Major Traction With GE Healthcare Introducing Discovery MI Gen 2 PET/CT System For Digital Detection With Innovative Reconstruction Technology
Handheld optical imaging devices can be used to detect and monitor various diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart diseases. These devices have been specifically designed to be lightweight and mobile, which allows them to easily be moved around to provide continuous surveillance during work or leisure activities. Furthermore, they are commonly used by nurses, doctors, and laboratory technicians to observe certain diseases, such as gallstones, tumors, and other diseases. Some handheld devices are designed to offer 360-degree coverage from the camera lens, which makes them useful for detecting abnormalities and diseases on a wide scale. The importance of these devices in the health care industry is due to their portability, ease of use, and ability to provide continuous surveillance.
High prevalence of oral cancer is
expected to drive growth of the global handheld imaging devices market.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there around 657,000 new
cases of the oral cavity and pharynx each year, while around 330,000 deaths due
to the same. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information
(NCB), in India, around 77,000 new cases of oral cancer and 52,000 deaths are
reported each year. Oral cancer is among the top three cancers diagnosed in
India. Handheld imaging devices such as OralScan are used for screening and
detection of oral cancer. It is a hand-held multispectral imaging camera. Thus,
these factors are expected to drive growth of the global handheld imaging
devices market. Furthermore, continuous research and development activities for
whole-brain MRI scan is expected to propel the global handheld imaging devices
market growth in the near future.
However, challenges related to the
development of a uniform magnetic field for image coding are expected to
restrain growth of the global handheld imaging devices market during the
forecast period. Among regions, North America is expected to witness
significant growth in the global handheld imaging devices market. This is owing
to the presence of key manufacturers such as GE Healthcare, InfraScan, Inc.,
and MolecuLight, Inc. across the region. Furthermore, Europe is expected to
register robust growth, owing to the presence of robust healthcare
infrastructure supporting new techniques.
Key companies operating in the global
handheld imaging devices market are GE Healthcare, MolecuLight, Inc.,
Koninklijke Philips N.V., KaVo Dental, Siemens Healthineers, InfraScan, Inc.,
FUJIFILM Corporation, Clarius Mobile Healtfh, FUJIFILM Corporation, and
Butterfly Network, Inc.
For instance, in November 2020, GE
Healthcare launched Discovery MI Gen 2 PET/CT system for digital detection with
innovative reconstruction technology.
