Mobile Gamma Cameras Market Outlook - 2026
The global size was $58 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $82 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2019 to 2026.
The mobile gamma camera is a fully portable and a mobile unit. It is an imaging technique to generate functional scans of organs in the body such as brain, cardiac, neurological, and kidney as well as scans small organs including, breast, thyroid, pancreas, and others. The mobile gamma camera scans the body by injecting a radionucleotide in the body or organ and records the resulting radioactivity by using gamma cameras. Image acquiring in mobile gamma camera is done in just two minutes. The complete examination of the patient from the time of injection of radioisotopes and final image acquisition is done in 10 minutes. Further, the mobile gamma camera is designed to scan patients at the bedside, and is widely used in the clinical practices. Nuclear imaging is performed due to its better selectivity and resolution as compared to other imaging techniques. In addition, it is vastly used at the time of surgery in the healthcare sector.
The mobile gamma cameras market is anticipated to experience significant growth during the forecast period due to the driving factors such as advantages in mobile gamma cameras over traditional gamma cameras and technological advancements in expanding the imaging options. In addition, rise in prevalence of chronic diseases further boost the growth of the global mobile gamma cameras market. However, exposure to a lethal dose of gamma radiation, decline in organ function, hair loss and skin burn of mobile gamma cameras hinder the growth of the global mobile gamma cameras market. On the contrary, hybrid or multimodal approaches can help overcome individual weaknesses, which result in advancements in the field of interventional molecular imaging and image-guided surgery. Further, development of mobile gamma camera is slowly replacing the conventional cameras, and this represents the biggest technological development in the market followed by miniaturization and numerous developments in the radionucleotide are anticipated to create newer opportunities in the emerging as well as the developed markets.
Product Type segment review
Based on the product type, the market is classified into single-head mobile gamma cameras, dual-head mobile gamma cameras, triple-head mobile gamma cameras, and handheld mobile gamma camera. The single-head mobile gamma cameras segment was the major revenue contributor in 2018, and is anticipated to continue this trend during the forecast period owing to high availability in the hospitals due to its cost-effectiveness.
However, triple-head mobile gamma cameras are expected to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the superior quality of the obtained images, high speed of the resolution of imagining, and cost-effective. Thus, the demand for triple-head mobile gamma cameras is high among the healthcare providers and patients, which in turn fuels the growth of the global market.
Application segment review
Based on application, the market is divided into cardiac imaging, breast imaging, thyroid scanning, kidney scanning, intraoperative imaging, and others. The intraoperative imaging is projected to exhibit the highest growth during the forecast period due to rise in surgical procedures across the world owing to the increase in prevalence of chronic diseases, injuries, and accidents. In addition, intraoperative imaging advances surgical precision and improves clinical outcomes for patients, thereby increasing the demand for mobile gamma cameras. However, the cardiac imaging segment was the major revenue contributor in 2018 and is anticipated to continue this trend during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increase in cardiac related diseases and mortality rate with greater disease severity across the world. According to WHO, 31% of death occurred due to cardiac disease in 2016 globally. In addition, Digirad Corporation has launched cardius 3XPO high definition, triple headed solid state detector, solely for cardiac imaging that is expected to expand the segmental growth. Moreover, the incidences of the cardiac diseases are significantly high, which in turn increases the demand for fast and portable mobile gamma camera and boosts the growth of the mobile gamma camera market.
Region segment review
Based on region, the mobile gamma cameras market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia- Pacific is projected to exhibit the highest growth during the forecast period, owing to increase in prevalence of the chronic diseases, faster uptake of technology, and rise in prevalence of cancer and cardiopathies in this region.
