UAE diagnostic imaging market is anticipated to register growth with an impressive CAGR in the forecast period, 2023-2027, on the account of rising demands for the early and effective diagnosis of diseases. Increasing instances of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurological diseases, etc. further drive the growth of the UAE diagnostic imaging market in the upcoming five years. Moreover, increasing applications of radiological approaches and imaging techniques for the identification of diseases, diseased cells, and organs further aid the growth of the UAE diagnostic imaging market in the next five years.
Radiological techniques that function in providing detailed images of the insides of the human body on a screen or film are diagnostic imaging techniques. These techniques are applied mostly in the cases where identification of the health condition is required through analyzing the organ or organ system inside the body. Various types of diagnostic imaging include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray computed tomography scans (CT – Scan), positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT), ultrasound imaging, x-ray imaging, etc. The basic principle is to use light, sound, or magnetic fields to create an image on detectors and interpret it to understand the abnormalities and thus diagnose the ailment to provide necessary treatment.
Healthcare Infrastructure Developments Promise Market Growth
