(PharmaNewsWire.Com, March 21, 2018 ) Publisher’s market research analysts predict the global MRI systems market to grow steadily during the forecast period and post a CAGR of almost 7% by 2021. This industry research report identifies the development of MRI-compatible pacemakers to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the MRI machines market in the coming years. Though used primarily in diagnosing disorders in the central nervous system in radiosurgery for the treatment of intracranial tumors and arteriovenous malformations, MRI imaging techniques are now also being used for the diagnosis of cardiac and breast diseases. This led to the development of MRI-compatible pacemakers that offer increased patient safety and procedure accuracy in patient screening, which will in turn, fuel the growth of the MRI systems market.
This market research and analysis estimates that in terms of geographical regions, the Americas was the major revenue contributor to the MRI scanner market during 2016 and will continue to dominate the market during the next four years as well. The increased adoption of MRI systems due to their cost-effectiveness and non-invasive nature and the rise in demand from research institutes for screening different diseases, will be the major factors fueling market growth in the Americas.
