Drivers in Today’s Radiation Dose Management Market

Rising concerns overradiation overexposureteamed with a growing focus on improving the quality of patient care are two key drivers of today’s radiation dose management market. The adoption of both nuclear medicine and interventional radiology is anticipated to create lucrative growth prospects for this market as well.Researchers指出缺乏补偿政策的辐射剂量管理解决方案，预计将阻碍市场增长。¹

Market Growth

The “Global Radiation Dose Management Solution Market 2020” industry report from Market Reports World estimates the market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14 percent, to $217 million during the 2020-2023 time period. The year-over-year growth rate for 2020 is estimated to be at 14.35 percent by the end of 2023.²

In 2019, the services segment had a significant market share, and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, according to the report. Many factors, including support and maintenance services, in addition to consulting services, implementation and integration services, will play a significant role in the services segment to maintain its market position. Noted factors that effect this segment include increasing adoption of medical imaging equipment, and laws and regulations supporting use of healthcare technology solutions. However, the high cost of healthcare technology solutions, limitations of technology solutions, combined with a shortage of skilled workers, may stifle the growth of the radiation dose management solution industry over the next few years, the report noted.

Driving Trends

The analysts atTechnavio Research越来越多的诊断成像方法的应用和各种疾病的流行正在推动进行医学成像的需求。对疾病预防和早期诊断的日益重视，加上英国和美国等国的可报销性，将进一步推动对辅助放射剂量管理的医疗成像设备的需求。这进而将推动采用辐射剂量管理解决方案，直接从成像设备捕获、跟踪和报告辐射剂量。分析人士预测，医疗成像设备使用的增加将导致全球辐射剂量管理解决方案市场在预测期内以超过14%的复合年增长率(包括基于云的系统)扩大。³

基于云的辐射剂量管理软件能够提高生产率，因为它允许随时随地访问、共享、交换和查看数据。它还有助于节省成本，因为云存储无需购买和安装额外的本地网络存储设备。此外，基于云的辐射剂量管理软件使终端用户更容易扩大其协作网络。This development is expected to have a positive impact on the overall market growth.

Focus on Early Detection

Growing applications of diagnostic imaging modalities and rising prevalence of various diseases are driving the need to conduct medical imaging examinations. The increasing focus on prevention and early diagnosis of diseases along with the availability of reimbursement in countries such as the U.K. and the U.S. will further drive the demand for medical imaging equipment such asPACSandRIS. This, in turn, will drive the adoption of radiation dose management solution, which captures, tracks and reports the radiation dose directly from these imaging devices. As a result, the increasing adoption of medical imaging equipment will lead to the expansion of the global radiation dose management solution market.

Patients and physicians around the world are becoming aware of radiation safety, augmenting the radiation dose management market growth. A lead analyst atFortune Business Insightsstated, “Radiation dose management systems offer insights, helping healthcare experts in the decision-making process while performing medical imaging procedures.” He added, “Improper radiation exposure can result in damaged blood cells, high cancer risk, acute illness and other genetic disorders.”⁴ Considering this, organizations such as National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), American College of Radiology (ACR) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) have created guidelines for an acceptable radiation dose in patients. Enabled by this, the radiation dose management market potential is likely to increase over the next few years.
