Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Technology Innovation and Growth Opportunities
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technology that creates clear images of organs and structures inside the body. However, the claustrophobic narrow bore size design that causes patient anxiety during the scan and the stationary nature of the large machine hinder the optimal use of this technology, and low-quality images add to the challenges associated with 2D MRI systems. Frost & Sullivan identifies and analyzes MRI system innovation that maximizes the benefits of the technology.
This research service highlights MRI design innovation, including open MRI systems, portable MRI systems, metamaterial MRI, intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI), and digital MRI innovation, such as audiovisual technology, 3D MRI, and AI-enabled MRI. The study offers a brief introduction of each of these innovations along with pros and cons, notable vendors, and success factors.
The study also highlights overall MRI market growth and restraints, technology analysis, top venture capital (VC) funding deals in North America, Europe, and Asia, and top mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Furthermore, it presents the patent landscape for MRI systems’ innovation and key growth opportunities.
