Computed Tomography Makes Statement as Groundbreaking Imaging Technology 

Computed tomography (CT) scan technology is foretold to register an overpowering revenue share of US$1.23 bn by the concluding forecast year and also a higher CAGR in the worldwide teleradiology market. CT scan is considered to be a revolutionary imaging technology which makes possible the visualization of complex bodily structures. With such a leading-edge technology in place compared to ultrasound and x-ray, there has been a perpetual improvisation in remote patient monitoring. This could effectively bolster the growth of the worldwide teleradiology market. 

With a view to procure sophisticated healthcare informatics and image data using various angles, CT scan incorporates the engagement of x-rays. A multiplicity of teleradiology services and technologies could be widely accessed by patients with small and medium-sized healthcare organizations making available CT scan equipment. 

Curbed exposure to radiation, non-invasive nature, and raised patient awareness are some of the aspects of ultrasound imaging predicted to place it second on the list of highest revenue earners by modality in the worldwide teleradiology market. Besides being a first line of gynecological disorder diagnosis, ultrasound imaging is critically employed to track fetal development and identify various abnormalities in a safe and secure manner. 

Asia Pacific Towers over CAGR but North America Dominates Revenue 

Asia Pacific is prophesied to be amongst the highest CAGR getters by geography with 12.1% to talk for in the international teleradiology market.
