According to FutureWise analysis the market for Radiation Dose Management in 2025 is US$ 396.7 million, and is expected to reach US$ 1009.4 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 12.38%. The growth in this area is driven by increased awareness of radiation safety, stricter regulations, and a rise in diagnostic imaging procedures worldwide. Advanced radiation dose monitoring software integrated with PACS and RIS allows for real-time tracking, optimizing exposure and improving patient safety in healthcare systems.
Radiation dose is defined as radiation effect on the skin; it depends on the intensity of radiation, exposure time and sensitivity of the skin. The management of radiation dose components includes information of radiation dose recording software, real-time staff dose monitoring, regulatory compliance and technologies to reduce the dose. There are various techniques like scintigraphies which can deliver low dose radiation with high-quality images of diagnosis, which can calculate and record the dose level and helps in the managing the patient data and sharing with regulatory authorities. Nowadays more patients are investigated through radiation technology to deliver accurate information on disease/disorder.
The growing importance of imaging techniques in the preliminary diagnosis of chronic diseases led to the increasing demand for radiation dose management. Rising demand is further augmented by increasing safety concerns of radiation fuelled the growth of the global radiation dose management market. Further, the rising complexity of imaging techniques led to the development of specific guidelines for better management of radiation dose in primary healthcare settings. Additionally, changing healthcare environment and regulatory scenarios to minimize the radiation complications have boosted the growth of the market. In the recent past, radiation dose management is becoming an integral part of healthcare systems to minimize radiation exposure. The market is expected to witness double growth rate during the forecast period due to increasing adoption radiation dose management techniques in healthcare systems.
AI Integration: AI is being integrated into radiation dose management systems to enhance image quality and reduce radiation exposure. In cardiology, AI-guided reconstruction techniques allow optimized cardiac CT to replace traditional stress testing, resulting in higher reimbursement and increased modality volumes.
