Global Medical Imaging Equipment Market: Restraints
Contraindications During The Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure
The contraindications with magnetic resonance imaging during the diagnosis procedure of patients have restrained its demand and growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the MR (magnetic resonance) environment involves a strong, static magnetic field, a magnetic field that changes with time (pulsed gradient field), and radiofrequency energy, each of which carry specific safety concerns such as:
Furthermore, to overcome this challenge patients should be properly guided by the professionals inorder to decrease these contraindications
High Costs Of Installation And Maintenance
Magnetic resonance imaging systems are made up of various accessories, such as scanner, superconducting coils, gradient coils, radiofrequency (RF) coils, computer systems, and others. The cost of MRI scanners is relatively high as compared to other medical imaging devices such as CT (Computed Tomography), PET(positron emission tomography) and others.
The fixed costs of these systems, consumables used for MRI systems, software, and customized services also account for a large proportion of the overall cost. Thus, high cost of purchase and initial outlay payment while making purchase are limiting magnetic resonance imaging systems market growth to some extent. For instance, in July 2020, according to the report published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a study was conducted to determine the LCC (Life cycle costing) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine/System at a tertiary care teaching hospital in India and concluded that the total cost of installation of MRI equipment was found to be approximately US$ 909,458 (Rs. 7,50,00,000 (INR))
