Global Portable Imaging Solutions Market Definition

Medical imaging is a vital tool in modern medicine for effective disease diagnosis. Medical imaging provides a more in-depth look at the health of tissue and organs. As a result, several clinical imaging centers with modern and cutting-edge equipment have been established, offering a wide range of imaging services. Since portable imaging devices are more convenient to use, many imaging facilities are now preferring them.

A portable X-ray machine is essentially a smaller, mobile version of a fixed X-ray machine. It enables radiographers, veterinarians, and dental specialists to capture X-ray images of patients without requiring them to enter a lead-lined room. The principle is the sameX-rays are emitted from the human or animal body, reflected, and displayed white on the image. Portable X-ray equipment is often used by professionals who have mobile offices or in busy medical facilities where space is an issue or where there’s a distinct lack of access to equipment.

Portable ultrasound devices are commonly utilized in situations where space is restricted, mobility is vital, or scanning needs to be done on the go. Portable ultrasound devices were first used by OB/GYN practitioners since they could be taken to the patient’s bedside or were affordable enough to be purchased by a private practice. At present. Portable ultrasound machines are used in the field of cardiology, vascular surgery, radiology, endocrinology, pediatrics, gastroenterology, and obstetrics and gynecology. Some of the advantages of the portable medical X-ray machine in a medical facility include greater mobility and portability better speed, safer operation, cost-effectiveness, and improved patient care quality.

Global Portable Imaging Solutions Market Overview

Chronic diseases are on a rise due to a sedentary lifestyle and a growing old age population. In developed countries such as the US, Portable X-ray machines are being increasingly used as it is convenient for the elderly or patients with significant illnesses. Portable X-ray machines can take as little as 20 minutes and may even be able to digitally transmit information to a radiologist. According to a recent Reuters article, in some cases, it is difficult for patients at home to travel to the hospital, which has led to increased use of portable X-ray services. This option is especially useful for older patients, as a visit to a hospital could be risky, especially during the pandemic.

Portable X-rays are also for disaster areas and home care. In the United States, each day, around 10,000 seniors turn 65 and the majority of them are hoping to age in their own homes. In this age group, the most common medical conditions requiring home care are heart disease, diabetes, and cerebral vascular diseases. In response to the need for critical care during the COVID-19 crisis, Carestream Health had increased the production of its portable diagnostic imaging systems. Thus, demand for Portable X-rays and other portable solutions is expected to increase in the country.

The primary reason that healthcare facilities are embracing mobile imaging is its contribution to patient care. Moving critically ill patients to the radiology department can cause complications for the patient. According to the International Journal of Critical Illness & Injury Science, complications of transport can range from potential danger to the respiratory system, hemodynamics (including loss of intravenous access), traumatic injury, acid-base homeostasis, glucose regulation, the potential for infection even death. Bringing diagnostic imaging technology directly to the bedside eliminates the risks of patient transport. It also eliminates the need for transport staff, freeing them up to tend to other patients in the facility. Thus, demand for portable devices is expected to increase in the coming years.
