Recent Development for 3D Orthopaedic Scanning Systems Market:
February 2023- PeekMed's latest automated orthopedic solution has been approved for 510(k) clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This web-based solution utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning technologies that allow for real-time automatic segmentation of computerized tomography (CT) scans and X-Rays. Additionally, it offers automatic planning and landmark detection.
The rising prevalence of orthopedic-related ailments due to the rising aging population is expected to drive the demand for innovative and sustainable solutions. This trend has fuelled the market growth for 3D scanning systems as they offer advantages such as increased accuracy, faster scanning times, and efficient mapping and processing speeds. 3D scanning has significantly reduced the time, labour, and cost of designing and manufacturing prosthetic aids, often by up to 90%. 3D scanners are fully automated and capable of capturing and reproducing high-resolution images with vivid colours at a speed of 16 frames per second. This ensures precise output and enhances the overall scanning experience. While challenges may arise during post-processing, such as variations in scans and shapes due to patient movement, these issues can be effectively addressed using appropriate software tools, both automated and manual, to eliminate misalignment and ensure accurate results, thus further driving the market. Moreover, 3D scanning and digital technology bring many opportunities for practitioners, manufacturers, and patients. The use of a 3D scanner delivers information on the shape of a person within seconds without any safety risk to the person. Unlike X-rays or MRIs, they do not produce any magnetic radiation, and there is no need for special body markers. Creating prosthetics now involves using 3D scanners to model the correct size. A full 360-degree scan takes 30 seconds at 15 frames per second (fps). Sizing can be determined in five minutes via a single macro command, which starts an optimized sequence of instructions and parameters. The files are then emailed to the manufacturer and CAD-directed milling machines that carve out metals and other solids to create a prosthetic device shipped in one day. The factors mentioned above are expected to help manufacturers to grow their clientele and generate revenue for this target market. However, the high cost and the lack of skilled professionals to perform scanning may limit market growth.
