Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that leverages high-energy sound waves to visualize tissue and organs within the body. Ultrasound has revolutionized medical imaging by offering a robust combination of portability, low cost, and convenient usage, and this has made ultrasound imaging an indispensable tool in radiology owing to efficiency to obtain more accurate imaging and enable diagnosis or more efficiently guide a therapeutic intervention. Over the past few decades, the number of ultrasound procedures have increased substantially and technological advancements such smart transducer design and smaller size or miniaturization of devices, lower cost, and novel data processing software have further contributed to its increased adoption. Increasing use of ultrasound both as imaging and therapeutic modality, rising prevalence of chronic diseases and growing awareness regarding benefits of early diagnosis and detection, and increasing application of ultrasound in acute pain medicine are key factors expected to continue to drive market revenue growth over the forecast period.

Ultrasound examination is a widely used technique to confirm the diagnosis of chronic diseases owing to its excellent ability of deep penetration into soft tissue in combination with high spatial resolution. Real-time imaging enables physicians to effectively guide therapeutic procedures and biopsies, which enables better accuracy when deploying procedures. Medical ultrasound is generally the primarily preferred imaging modality owing to cost effectiveness and lack of use of ionizing radiation. Ultrasound waves are produced by the transducer that can both, emit and detect the ultrasound waves and echoes, which generate electric signals that are then sent to the ultrasound scanner. Depending on the speed of sound and time of return of ultrasound echo, the distance between transducer and tissue boundary is calculated by the scanner to generate 2D images of tissues and organs. Ultrasound gel prevents the formation of air pockets between the skin and transducer, which can block ultrasound waves from passing into the body. Diagnostic ultrasound is widely used to obtain pictures/imaging of internal organs and tissue to diagnose causes of pain, swelling and infection, and to examine and assess the growth and development of fetus in pregnant women. Over the recent past, advancements in imaging modalities have expanded applications areas of ultrasound from diagnostics to explore alternative therapies. Ultrasound has been rapidly incorporated in acute pain medicine, regional anesthesia, and interventional pain medicine. This can be attributed to increasing ability to view the targeted structure and visualize distribution of injected medication with a capacity to control its distribution by readjusting position, which further improves accuracy of this procedure. This is expected to further drive market growth over the forecast period.
