The increased prevalence of chronic diseases and technical improvements in diagnostic imaging are the main factors boosting the growth of the diagnostic imaging market in the UAE.
Imaging techniques are essential for making a correct diagnosis of chronic disorders. These prevalent and expensive long-term health issues are steadily rising as a result of the ageing population’s growth and shifting social norms.
Cardiovascular illnesses, obesity, and diabetes are to blame for the majority of chronic disease-related deaths. Therefore, it is anticipated that the use of imaging will increase significantly as the burden of chronic disease increases. As a result, the market is anticipated to grow throughout the forecast period due to the high unmet demand for imaging technologies.
Diagnostic imaging techniques are essentially radiological procedures that produce in-depth images of the human body’s interiors on a screen or in film. These methods are typically used when it’s necessary to analyse an organ or organ system inside the body in order to identify a health condition.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography scans using x-rays, positron emission tomography/CT ultrasound imaging, and x-ray imaging are a few examples of several diagnostic imaging procedures. The basic idea is to create an image on detectors using light, sound, or magnetic fields, read it to recognise any irregularities, and then determine the illness so that the appropriate therapy may be given.
The UAE Medical Imaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
To be incorporated into the region’s Malaffi health information exchange platform, the Department of Health in Abu Dhabi has established an image exchange solution. Authorized physicians will have safe access to radiography and diagnostic pictures as part of patient records thanks to the solution.
Following a staged approach, two million radiology pictures, including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound images, will be accessible through Malaffi from more than 60 different healthcare facilities throughout Abu Dhabi.
Nine hospitals from the NMC Healthcare group and Reem Hospital are already linked and exchanging radiology pictures. Patients won’t need to bring hard copy scans and CDs to every appointment once all sites are connected.
Patients and healthcare professionals are put under a great deal of stress by the time and effort required to retrieve radiological and diagnostic pictures from various systems.
Clinicians must have secure access to radiological images in order to improve decision-making and the provision of high-quality patient care. For surgeons, gynaecologists, obstetricians, internal medicine specialists, and cancer care teams to have a comprehensive understanding of patients’ medical histories from encounters at various facilities, access to photographs is very crucial.
Additionally, it lessens the need for repeated, costly, and intrusive radiology tests, protecting patients from needless radiation while saving time and money.
