The market growth is attributed to the technological advancements in medical imaging informatics and rising demand for AI- and cloud-based platforms. However, a lack of expertise in operating medical imaging informatics systems is expected to restrict the market growth during the forecast period.
For many years, compact disks (CDs) have been ubiquitous when sharing medical images. Discs were provided to patients with less or no security, leading to lost or stolen couriers in worse scenarios. Digitization in imaging provides several advantages, including higher pixel information, efficient storage and retrieval, and easy data sharing among team members.
Taking advantage of technological advancements, various radiology systems such as picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), enterprise imaging, and cardiovascular information system (CVIS) vendors are releasing new and fully revamped platforms.
The newer generation web-based cloud platforms also benefit by offering much faster connection speeds. Large imaging files can, thus, be opened in less than a second or two for reading images. Thus, the rising demand for AI and cloud-based platforms is likely to bring new trends in the Middle East & Africa medical imaging informatics market during the forecast period.
