Intraoperative Imaging Market size is projected to grow at a substantial rate from 2024 to 2032 due to the rising number of surgeries and the jump in the usage of imaging devices to verify surgical accuracy and ensure implant placement. The increase in the number of patients with brain tumors is escalating the demand for appropriate imaging technology in medical institutions.
Despite fears about radiation exposure, the number of CT scan treatments is increasing at a stellar rate worldwide. As per reports, every year, more than 80 million CT scans are conducted in the U.S. MRI and CT scanners are powerful diagnostic tools for a wide range of ailments and injuries. With the rising importance of real-time imaging capabilities, surgeons are making informed decisions during procedures, further driving the usage of intraoperative imaging systems to offer high-quality, real-time visualization. The higher integration of intraoperative imaging with surgical navigation systems to allow surgeons to visualize preoperative images for enhanced guidance during surgery.
The emerging trend of development and adoption of portable and handheld intraoperative imaging devices to offer flexibility and mobility for uses in various clinical settings will prove favorable for the industry development. Several intraoperative imaging companies are forming strategic partnerships and collaborations to enhance their product offerings and expand their market presence.
To cite an instance, in September 2022, RF shielding system for MRI provider ETS-Lindgren partnered with IMRIS, Deerfield Imaging for a modern MRI facility at Boston Children’s Hospital located in Boston, Massachusetts. The newly established Hale Family building provides diagnostic and treatment capabilities deploying IMRIS’ unique on-demand iMRI (intraoperative MRI) during surgery. The growing focus on collaborations with healthcare institutions, research organizations, and technology companies is also leading to the development of innovative solutions.
The intraoperative imaging industry share from the orthopedic surgery segment is forecasted to grow at a significant rate up to 2032 owing to the increasing need for providing surgeons with real-time visual information during procedures. Intraoperative imaging supports the adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques in orthopedics. To that end, surgeons increasingly employ imaging guidance to perform procedures through smaller incisions while reducing trauma to surrounding tissues and potentially leading to faster recovery times for patients.
The North America intraoperative imaging market size is expected to witness robust expansion through 2032. The growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries in the region is driving the preference for intraoperative imaging for enhancing the precision of the procedures. Of late, there has been an increasing trend of creating hybrid operating rooms that integrate various imaging modalities, such as MRI, CT, and fluoroscopy. Scaling healthcare infrastructure investments along with the growing number of neurosurgery and orthopedic procedures. As per the Canadian Orthopedic Association (COA), approximately 130,000 people in Canada are waiting for an orthopedic operation.
Some of the leading intraoperative imaging companies include:
Major intraoperative imaging industry players are essaying new product developments, partnership strategies like acquisitions, and R&D investments to gain competitive edge in the market.
In July 2022, Hackensack Meridian Hackensack University Medical Center acquired the Siemens Healthineers MAGNETOM Combi Suite, an intraoperative MRI system for enhancing presurgical planning, and improving the accuracy of brain tumor removal
