MARKET OVERVIEW: DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING MARKET 

Diagnostic imaging refers to various methods of peering inside the body to ascertain a diagnosis and determine the origins of an illness or injury. Additionally, doctors use it to assess how well a patient's body responds to fracture or illness treatment. Diagnostic imaging enables medical professionals to see inside patient’s body to help them look for any signs of a health issue. Images of the processes and structures inside patient’s body can be created using certain tools and techniques. Depending on the body part they are examining and patient’s symptoms, doctor will decide which imaging tests are necessary. Numerous imaging procedures are simple, painless, and non-invasive. However, some will require to remain motionless inside the machine for a considerable amount of time, which can become somewhat uncomfortable. Some tests expose test subjects to a small amount of radiation. A small camera on a long, thin tube will be inserted into patient’s body by the physician for additional imaging tests. A "scope" is the term used to describe this item. Once inside an organ, such as patient’s heart, lungs, or colon, they'll move the scope through a bodily opening or passageway. For these procedures, patient might require anaesthesia. Health Images offers a full array of diagnostic imaging services, including the MRI Scans, MRA Scans, CT scans, Ultrasound, X-rays, Mammography, Bone Density Scans, Arthrogram, Myelogram.
