Mobile CT Scanners Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Emergence Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Mobile CT Scanners Market - Advanced Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) is the first mobile CT with AI-assisted technology, which uses deep learning algorithms to analyze the data from the scan, allowing it to produce higher-quality images in significantly less time than traditional CT scanners. Additionally, it can reduce the dose of radiation needed for a scan, which is beneficial for patient safety.
• Deployment Of Advanced Mobile Scanners Across Hospitals - In US hospitals, Siemens' SOMATOM On.site mobile head CT scanner is now commercially available, providing CT scans to ICU patients with head injuries who are too unstable to be transported to the in-house scanner. This technology will assist in identifying patients' head conditions more rapidly, as well as reduce incidents related to transferring critically ill patients.

• Reduced Frequency of ICU Patient Scans - Mobile CT scanners allow medical staff to bring them directly to the ICU patient's bedside, thereby eliminating the need for them to be transported to the radiology department. This reduces the amount of time and resources spent on patient transfers and allows for more efficient use of stationary CT systems and staff.

Challenges

• More frequent maintenance for Mobile CT scanners - As CT scanners become more complex and technologically advanced, they require more frequent maintenance and servicing to ensure optimal performance. This increases the costs associated with owning and operating CT scanners.
• Presence of alternate diagnostic imaging technologies
• Costly operation of mobile CT scanners
