Intraoperative imaging systems assist in performing surgeries through image guidance. The possibility of shifting of the surgery target during the procedure (most commonly the brain) challenges pre-surgery imaging location. Intraoperative image guidance uses real time imaging to locate the surgery target and thus helps in precise monitoring and control over surgical procedure. Intraoperative imaging is a relatively recent concept; and since its introduction, has found wide application in neurosurgical procedures. Use of intraoperative MRI offers the most precise progress status during surgery and thus assists in delivering the best procedural outcomes.

For the purpose of this study, the global intraoperative imaging market is categorized into three imaging modalities namely, intraoperative computed tomography (CT), intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative ultrasound. Among these, the intraoperative MRI segment is currently undergoing the fastest market growth through 2023, facilitated by benefits such as precise image delivery, accuracy of procedure monitoring and relative safety from radiation as against other imaging modalities.

Imaging Type Segmentation Investigation 

Among the considered image modalities, intraoperative computed tomography holds the largest market share in 2015. Widespread adoption of CT imaging in image guided surgeries and their efficiency in delivering precise images in neurological diagnostics are the major factors facilitating the dominance of intraoperative CT segment. Additionally, intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging also called as iMRI is gaining rapid popularity in the intraoperative imaging market. Safety in terms of radiation exposure to both surgeons and patients and delivery of accurate real-time images are the factors driving the intraoperative MRI market. Intraoperative ultrasound assists in accurate localized pathology, guide in biopsies, reduces surgical resection and improve surgical staging.

Among the considered regions, North America holds the largest market for intraoperative imaging systems, followed by Europe. These regions together capture over 50% of the global intraoperative imaging market in 2015 and it is anticipated that their dominance will continue through 2023. Based on country level break-up of the market, United States is the largest market for intraoperative imaging systems, where the demand for intraoperative MRI systems is the highest. Some of the prime factors that drive the intraoperative imaging systems market in North America and Europe are large-scale government investments, multitude of research and clinical trial activities being taking place and collaborations by major market players domiciled in these regions.
