Mobile medical imaging services market analysis

It has been observed that the healthcare institutions in many developing countries are ill-equipped to meet the rising demand for diagnostic imaging services. Also, the scarcity of medical imaging devices in some developed economies such as Canada, New Zealand, and France are resulting in the need for cost-effective diagnostic imaging services.

Research analysis of the global mobile medical imaging services market identifies this scarcity of imaging devices as one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the mobile medical imaging services market growth. According to the mobile medical imaging services market analysis, this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 3% by 2021. Also, the decline in quality of treatment for various chronic pain conditions due to the delay in the interpretation of X-rays, CT, and MRI scans by radiologists will also drive the need for diagnostic services such as medical mobile imaging services to prevent such delays.
