Perfusion Radiology Market

Perfusion radiology is an imaging test that shows how the blood flows through the organs or tissues. This test is used for the diagnosis of various chronic disorders. Growing prevalence of cardiovascular and neurological diseases, increasing geriatric population, and advancements in technology are driving the growth of the global perfusion radiology market. However, stringent regulatory policies and lack of awareness for the use of advanced technologies are likely to hamper the market growth

Key Contributing Factors

There are numerous factors that contribute to the growth of the perfusion radiology market. The key factors are mentioned below in brief.

Growing Prevalence of Cardiovascular and Neurological Diseases

According to the American Heart Association Statistics Committee and Stroke Statistics Subcommittee, in 2017, every year about 795,000 people in the US have a stroke of which about 610,000 are new reported cases of strokes and185,000 are recurrent strokes.

Increasing Geriatric Population

According to the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in 2016, approximately 12.4% of the population in the region was 60 or older, however, this is projected to increase to over a quarter or to 1.3 billion people by 2050.

Advancements in Technology

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) combined with computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging holds immense potential to evaluate all aspects of the broad spectrum of ischemic heart disease. This helps in disease diagnosis and deciding appropriate treatment for the patient.
