Usage of hybrid imaging in diagnosis of diseases across various disciplines of medicine, including oncology, cardiology, and neurology, has been on a steep rise in recent years. This is resulting into growing demand for skilled professionals for capturing and understanding the data collected by these devices. Therefore, various institutes and research centers are conducting training programs for multimodal imaging. The European School of Radiology (ESOR) has organized the Exchange Programme for Hybrid Imaging Fellowship with the support of the European Society for Hybrid, Molecular and Translational Imaging (ESHIMT) and European Society of Radiology (ESR). This program will provide modular training in SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and PET/MR and will facilitate learning about radiochemistry production of traces and image data processing. Such training programs are going to expose trainees to various aspects of multimodal imaging.

Multimodal imaging devices face major technological challenges due to complications pertaining to system integration. For instance, a conventional PET system requires PMTs for the detection of scintillation light and PMTs are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, a standard PET cannot be directly operated inside an MRI machine. In order to avoid this issue, PET and MR require separation via active shield to protect PMTs against the magnetic fields, thereafter integrated device can be used for medical imaging. This could act as a deterrent to multimodal/hybrid imaging market growth.

Type Insights

Based on type, the market is segmented into PET/CT systems, SPET/CT systems, PET/MR systems, OCT/Fundus imaging, and others. PET/CT systems held the largest market share in 2018 primarily due to its growing usage in the field of oncology. Moreover, its usage is expanding in the field of cardiology and neurology. In addition, the penetration of PET/CT hybrid imaging device over standalone PET is increasing, which in turn, is contributing to segment growth. For instance, U.S. has the highest concentration of about four PET and PET/CT units per million inhabitants, followed by Japan with approximately two units per million inhabitants.

The SPET/CT segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. Standalone SPET devices were widely used fornuclear medicine; however, data captured by the standalone device was not sufficient to provide accurate anatomic localization of the abnormality. SPECT integrated with other imaging devices such as CT results in better diagnosis of a disease as it helps in effectively determining the morphological abnormality and pathogenesis of the disease. This hybrid imaging device is mainly used for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases.

The OCT/Fundus Imaging System segment is also expected to grow at a significant pace over the coming years. This multimodal imaging device is mainly used in the field of ophthalmology for clinical and preclinical procedures.Fundus cameraincreases the visibility of retinal vasculature, pigmentation, nerve fiber arrangement, and optic nerve head. On the other hand, OCT helps in capturing a defined image to measure the inner and outer thickness of the retina, thereby enhancing the diagnosis of ophthalmic disorders.

Applications Insights

Based on application, the hybrid imaging systems market is segmented into oncology, ophthalmology, cardiology, brain and neurology, and others. Oncology held the largest share in 2018 due to increasing number of cancer cases. As per the National Cancer Institute, in 2018, approximately 1,735,350 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the U.S. alone. Various imaging modalities are used for the diagnosis, staging, re-staging, treatment, and monitoring of cancer. Standalone devices such as CT,MRI, PET, and SPECT help in providing anatomical and functional detail of the cancer; however, they lack in providing insights about tumor morphology. Therefore, various hybrid imaging devices such as PET/CT, SPET/CT, and PET/MR are being effectively used in the field of oncology to gather accurate data for proper diagnosis. This is expected to boost segment growth during the forecast period.

The cardiology segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period mainly due to increasing prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis and adoption of multimodal imaging for diagnosis. These devices, mainly computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) with SPECT or PET, are largely used in the field of cardiology. This is because these multimodal devices help in diagnosing coronary artery disease by accurately visualizing coronary atherosclerotic lesions and their hemodynamic consequences. CTCA along with MRI and PET/MRI are upcoming hybrid imaging devices for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases and are expected to drive the segment during the forecast period.

The brain and neurology segment is also expected to grow at a lucrative through 2026. Dual modality imaging devices such as PET/MRI are effectively used for the detection of neurological disorders such as dementia, epilepsy, and psychiatric disorders. This combined modality device helps in effective diagnosis of neurological disorders as it can generate soft tissue contrast of brain tissue, without excessive exposure to radiation.

End-use Insights

Based on end use, the multimodal imaging market is segmented into hospitals, diagnostic centers, and others. Others include research centers and academies. Hospitals held the largest market share in 2018 mainly due to increasing installation of multimodal imaging devices in hospitals.
