Radioactive Diagnostic Agent Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)
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.
