Positron Emission Tomography Market size was nearly USD 1 billion in 2022 and is expected to record more than 5.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. Growing integration of X-ray computed tomography in PET will influence market growth.
X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging has increasingly been combined with PET (positron emission tomography) imaging over the years. Incorporating CT into PET imaging has a number of benefits, including improving the localization of functional abnormalities and improving the accuracy of PET imaging by providing detailed anatomical information. This reduces the need for additional CT scans, which can save time and lower the total radiation dose given to the patient.

The short lifespan of radioisotopes is one of the significant factors that would impact the performance and price of PET scanners. The radioactive decay on the radioisotopes influences the quality of photos. Fewer positrons are produced by the radioisotope as it decays, which lowers image sensitivity and resolution. This indicates that when the radioisotope decays, the images generated by a PET scanner will become less precise and detailed over time, hampering market expansion.
