A positron emission tomography (PET) - computed tomography (CT) scan reveals information about both the structure and function of cells and tissues in the body during a single imaging session. In recent times, majority of PET scans are performed on instruments that are combined with PET and CT scanners. The combined PET-CT scans provide images that identify the anatomic location of abnormal metabolic activity within the body. The combined scans have been shown to provide more accurate diagnoses than the two scans performed separately.

The diagnosis of various diseases such as cancer, heart diseases, and certain brain disorders require the use of both PET and CT scans. PET scanners measure metabolic activity, whereas CT scanners highlight anatomical features. The risk to poor superimposition of separate imaging is reduced and the hybrid PET-CT process lessens burden on the patient by simplifying the scanning process. The use of PET-CT scanner hybrids combine the strengths of two well-established imaging modalities and helps in accurate diagnosis, localizing, and monitoring of the disease. Moreover, PET-CT scanners can record the images in extremely short time (less than a minute).

The global PET-CT scanner device market size was valued at US$ 1.9 billion in 2017 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).

Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and rising geriatric population is expected to drive the PET-CT scanner device market revenue

Rising prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease across the globe and increasing demand for effective diagnostic systems is expected to drive the PET-CT scanner market size. According to the National Centre for Health Statistics, 2011, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., killing over 600,000 people each year.

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2012, an estimated 14.1 million new cancer cases were reported, globally. Among these, the most common form of cancer was lung cancer (13%), breast cancer (11.9%), and colorectal cancer (9.7%). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), February 2018 data, around 22,000 men and 9,000 women suffer from liver cancer, and around 16,000 men and 8,000 women die due to liver cancer, every year in the U.S.

PET-CT Scanner Device Market - Regional Insights

On the basis of region, the global PET-CT scanner device market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America is expected to hold dominant position in the global PET-CT scanner device market, owing to rising number of traumatic brain injury cases in the U.S. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2013, around 282,000 people were diagnosed with brain injury and around 50,000 people died due to traumatic brain injury in the U.S. It is estimated to be a major cause of disability and death in the U.S.
