Breakthrough innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) & augmented intelligence and Virtual Reality (VR) combined with 3-D imaging allow for better patient care thereby facilitating progression of the market share. For instance, EchoPixel’s virtual reality system helps surgeons to perform procedures such as congenital heart defects with patient specific surgical views.The True 3D software provides surgical views that help reduce occurrence of unexpected situations during surgeries thereby helping surgeons give precise care to the patient. Availability of such advanced medical imaging modalities will accelerate the overall industry outlook. 

One of the major factors driving market growth is the introduction of technologically advanced imaging equipment. The medical imaging market trends such as rising product demand during the forecast period is the increased use of advanced AI-enabled diagnostic equipment for rapid diagnosis and predictive analysis in developed countries.

The global medical imaging market is studied on the basis of geography as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. North America region is expected to account for the largest market. The growing number of patients undergoing diagnostic imaging procedures in the country is propelling the diagnostic imaging market in this region forward. Europe is expected to grow at a significant CAGR due to the presence of well-established healthcare facilities and the aging population's increasing demand for advanced healthcare systems. US is the leading country to have the most installed units of MRI systems per million population, at roughly 44 MRI systems per 100,000 people, just behind Japan which has 55 systems per 100,000 people. Due to rising chronic disease prevalence and demand for advanced diagnostic devices, Asia Pacific is expected to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Additionally, a large and ageing installed base of imaging equipment in Asia Pacific is presenting a lucrative opportunity for market players.
