The global health network is gradually shifting focus on preventive treatment by designing ways to achieve better results while reducing costs. More vigilance on early disease detection is gradually becoming important, mainly attributed to multimodal imaging that allows both functional and anatomical assessments. This often helps to further diagnose such issues like cancer, neurological conditions, and cardiovascular conditions in at-risk populations early. This is coupled with early diagnosis trend, besides the progress in medical studies. 

Diagnostics in the Remote Area and Telemedicine: Multimodal imaging is slowly being integrated into telemedicine and remote diagnostic platforms. The image data may now be safely transmitted to experts to analyze and diagnose from a remote location due to the growing utilization of digital healthcare technologies. Telemedicine allows for this possibility and avenue for faster consultations, greater accessibility to advanced imaging, and improved patient outcomes in disadvantaged regions. This imaging modality gains greater access to rural and isolated areas due to the telemedicine trend on the rise. 

North America accounted for the highest multimodal imaging market share in 2022 and is predicted to be one of the spearheading regions in the forecast period as well. The market for this region is witnessing growth due to the presence of many prominent companies, including Siemens, GE Healthcare, and Koninklijke Philips N.V., in the region, along with advancements in technologies used for manufacturing multimodal imaging devices. The market is anticipated to grow due to the increasing adoption of advanced multimodal imaging technologies and the presence of a well-established healthcare infrastructure. The demand for multimodal imaging equipment also increased in the region because of the high health awareness from the public and the healthcare professionals about the importance of early diagnosis using imaging technologies.
