Animal Imaging Market Analysis

Product (Veterinary Imaging Instruments, Veterinary Software, Veterinary Imaging Reagents)

The veterinary imaging instruments segment in the animal imaging market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 55% in the coming years. The veterinary imaging devices further include positron emission tomography, fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, x-ray computed tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, and bioluminescence imaging, which can be used for whole animal imaging that offers distinct insights on the morphology, energy balance, and physiological state of the animal.

In veterinary medicine, ultrasonography is the second most popular imaging format which enables veterinarians to diagnose animals faster and make faster judgments with little sedation or restriction. With the help of these user-friendly ultrasound instruments veterinarians can guide needles for tissue biopsies and can diagnose diseases such as pancreatitis, enlarged organs, kidney/bladder stones, and portosystemic shunts.

Animal Type (Small Companion Animals, Large Animals)

The small companion animals segment in the animal imaging market is set to garner a notable share shortly. Small-animal PET imaging is an important tool in preclinical oncology which have recently emerged, including PET, PET/CT, and PET/MR, as well as SPECT and SPECT/CT scanners that permit the noninvasive study of novel drugs as well as their effects in animals over substantial periods. Numerous uses of small animals exist in the field of biomedical research which has also proven helpful in understanding human molecular biology and pathology.

A compact, high-resolution PET scanner and MRI equipment can be used on small animals, including rats and mice, for non-invasive research. Moreover, positron emission tomography (PET) –CT scanners are becoming standard for clinical PET imaging which utilizes small scintillator elements decoded with position-sensitive or multichannel for studying the animal model of human diseases and the development of new drugs.

Application (Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology)

The orthopedics and traumatology segment in the animal imaging market is anticipated to garner a noteworthy share in the coming years. In exotic pets, orthopedic disorders are a prevalent issue therefore by utilizing PET-CT imaging on small animals more accurate problem definitions and exact therapy protocol settings are made possible. In exotic animal veterinary care, diagnostic imaging modalities are more widely available and accessible particularly, nuclear imaging which is being used in tiny animals to identify inflammatory, traumatic, and precancerous lesions early on.
