Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report showing that there will be a steady increase in demand for medical imaging services, along with pressures to improve the quality of healthcare delivered in the home and to lower its cost.

"Medical Imaging Markets" reports that the medical imaging segments are poised for a major new phase of growth fuelled by the availability of new technology coming out of the computer and digital information technology segment, and the higher interest of individual older baby boom patients and general healthcare consumers to monitor health status.

The study shows that continuous improvements in technology are resulting in a growing number of new imaging tests that combine high levels of accuracy with rapid, easy-to-use product formats, for instance, simplified digital mammography is driving more screening programs to detect breast cancer.

The report describes the specific market segment of the diagnostics market sector called medical imaging. This sector includes all of the generally-accepted imaging activities that are currently used today, including X-ray and radiography, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, gamma camera market, computed tomography (CT) scans and positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
