Sales Forecasts of Functional Brain Imaging Systems Reveal Positive Outlook Through 2026
Verfasser: yogesh on Thursday, 7 March 2019Since the past few years, it has been observed that the healthcare industry is witnessing technological advancements in medical devices. These advancements have led to robust facilities and services for patients suffering from the brain-related disorders. Presently, functional brain imaging is one of the fastest growing segments in the overall medical imaging market. Functional brain imaging systems have a screening method that helps physicians analyze the activity and functional problems of the nervous system. Functional brain imaging systems are used to treat various types of neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, functional brain imaging systems also measure metabolism and blood flow. There are different types of devices (or scanners) available in the market which offer services in the functional brain imaging segment. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), computed tomography (CT) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) are some of the techniques used in functional brain imaging. Among all, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) are the most prominent and dominant techniques that provide robust information about brain activity by detecting changes in blood oxygenation. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides functional and anatomical information about changes in the blood flow to particular areas of the brain.
