Medical Imaging System
| Advances and Markets of Medical Imaging Technology |
A. Two Types of Medical Testing Services:
Medical testing services mainly consist of medical testing and medical imaging explained as follows. a. Medical testing assist the diagnosis of diseases by testing patients' samples (e.g. blood, urine, stool, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural and abdominal fluid). b. Medical imaging is the interaction with the human body with the help of a certain medium (such as X-rays, electromagnetic fields, ultrasound, etc.), and expresses the internal tissues and organs in the human body in the form of images. The diagnostic physician then make judgment based on the information by the image, and evaluate the health status of the human body.
More than being a virtual world, it has its own economies fuelled by creators and infrastructure providers. Essentially, the metaverse functions around the concept of interoperability – particularly utilizing that are non-fungible tokens, unlike traditional games that revolve around using closed systems.
B. New Directions in Medical Imaging
The traditional single ordinary X-ray and angiography will evolve in the three direction as follows. 1. Network, 2. Intelligence.
C. Markets of Medical Imaging System: Revenue of imaging examination accounts for 10%-20% of the total revenue of hospitals, ranked only second to medicine. Revenue and market size are reported as follows 1. Global medical imaging market size 2020: USD43.4Bil, Chinese market size USD15.6Bil. 2025: USD52.9 billion and USD20 billion respectively. 2. In 2020, there were 38 CT and 41 MRI machines per million people in the United States, while the corresponding figures in China were 19 and 8. 3. From 2017 to 2023, the number of medical imaging (CT/MR) tests in China increased from 360 million to 963 million, and the number of medical imaging (DR/B ultrasound/ECG) tests increased from 1.1 billion to 2.392 billion.
