Optical imaging is the technology for taking images of the interior body parts sensitively. Photons and visible lights are used to take the comprehensive images of tissue and internal organs. It also takes images of minor structures like molecules and cells. These metaphors are used by medics for treatment of diseases and diagnosis and also by scientists and researchers for various research works.

Market Dynamics

Optical imaging market is mainly driven due to the use of non-ionizing radioactivity which reduces the radiation energy when exposed to patients. Also, optical imaging has possibility to distinguish between soft tissues or muscles using numerous properties of photons like scattering or absorption at different frequency wavelengths. In addition, optical imaging is pooled with different imaging techniques such as X-rays or MRI which delivers improved images that is very convenient for the study and research of complex diseases. However, owing to the factors such as huge amount of expenses related with the imaging procedures and lack of skilled technicians are affecting the growth of this market. Growing generic population, upsurge in R&D activities, and mounting demand of optical imaging techniques in drug detection procedures and early clinical research are expected to boost the growth of optical imaging market in coming years.
