Global meningitis imaging market was valued at $164.70 thousand in 2020, and is projected to reach $243.72 thousand by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2030. meningitis is an inflammation caused to brain and spinal cord.
It caused swelling of the brain which triggers the symptoms such as fever, headache and stiff neck. Meningitis includes some types such as bacterial meningitis, viral meningitis, fungal meningitis and others. In case of bacterial meningitis bacteria enter the blood stream and travel to the brain and cause bacterial meningitis. Ear and sinus infection is one of the major reason to get infected by bacterial meningitis. It includes bacteria such as streptococcus pneumonia, neisseria meningitides, and haemophilus influenza. Viral meningitis is usually shows mild symptoms. It includes the viruses like HIV mumps, herpes simplex virus and west nile virus. Fungal meningitis is also cause by person to person. It is life threatening if it is treated by at the right time.
Computed tomography is a major tool to detect the infection of meningitis. It is computerized x-ray imaging procedure in which it create detailed images of internal organs, soft tissue and blood vessels. In this procedure the cross-sectional images generated during computed tomography scan. Computer tomography scanning is the best method for detecting many different types of meningitis and the images allow doctors to identify the presence of infection associated with brain and spinal cord. It is also used to visualize the infection and evaluate injuries related to head, spine, heart, abdomen, and chest. It can diagnose a life threatening conditions. Whereas, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also an effective imaging system. In addition, this diagnostic tools collectively known as neuroimaging. This neuroimaging can identify the situation that may predispose to bacterial meningitis. It is also used to monitor complications of meningitis such as empyema, hydrocephalus, and parenchymal abscess.
