Report Code: HCR 0634 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Radioactive Diagnostic Agent Market Overview

Radioactive Diagnostic Agent Market size is estimated to reach $10.5 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Radioactive diagnostic agents are principally utilized to discover abnormalities and malfunction of particular tissue or organ in a body. Diagnostic methods involve medications that are integrated with radiotracers, which discharge gamma rays from radiotracers inside the body. Diagnostic agents are utilized to diagnose some conditions. X-ray dyes and radioactive isotopes are substances injected into the body to focus on some areas at the time of X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. Radiotracers and radiopharmaceuticals are substances that pursue the behavior of different biological procedures. They are also utilized for flow visualization by way of various medical imaging modalities like Positron Emission Tomography (PET imaging), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT imaging), and Computed Radioactive Particle Tracking (CARPT) systems. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging method that utilizes radioactive substances termed radiotracers to envision and assess alterations in metabolic procedures, and in additional physiological actions inclusive of blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption. Tumor imaging is a clinical and experimental medical technology planned to localize neoplastic lesions in a body utilizing a labeled antibody or its fragment. Tumor imaging relies on the presence of an antigen that is either exclusively expressed on the tumor or at least has a considerable difference in its quantity and/or dispersion between the tumor and normal tissues. Tumor antigens are normally divided into two kinds namely tumor-specific antigens and tumor-associated antigens.

The augmenting technological progress involving extensive application of positron emission tomography (PET) and the heightening awareness regarding health in developing nations are set to drive the Radioactive Diagnostic Agent Market. The growing count of cancer patients is set to propel the growth of the Radioactive Diagnostic Agent Market during the forecast period 2022-2027. This represents the Radioactive Diagnostic Agent Industry Outlook.
