Key segments of the global radiation dose monitoring market

Radiation dose monitoring is the system of collecting, analyzing, processing and controlling the dose of medication given to patients post medical imaging checkups. It provides real-time monitoring of patients’ examination based on diagnostic reference levels and automatic email notifications. Increase in the adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems, rising use of imaging technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scan, implementation of health information exchanges (HIEs), and governmental regulations that make radiation monitoring of dosages compulsory has boosted the global market for radiation dose monitoring.

The global radiation dose monitoring market is categorized on the basis of product, modality, end user, and region. On the basis of products and services, the market is segmented into services and solutions. The solutions segment has seen major growth due to the seamless integration of radiation dose monitoring, tracking and analyzing systems with other systems such as EHR, picture archiving and communication system (PACS), and RIS to monitor patient dosage and ensure patient safety. Based on modality, the global radiation dose monitoring market is divided into CT, fluoroscopy and interventional imaging, radiography and mammography, and nuclear medicine. Users of this market include hospitals, ambulatory care settings, research institutions, and academic medical centers, out of which hospitals hold the largest market share due to the high demand for efficient medical services.

Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and Africa. The same research implies that North America dominated the market with a market share of 45% in 2017. However in the coming years Asia-Pacific and Latin America is expected to see growth owing to the rising patient population and government initiatives.
