CBCT Extremity Scanner Market Overview and Introduction

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) Extremity Scanner is a specially designed extremities-specific imaging technique that consists of X-ray computed tomography wherein X-rays are diverged in the form of a cone. The X-ray images are then reconstructed by using an algorithm to develop high-resolution images, which assist in accurate diagnosis & efficient treatment plans.

The global CBCT extremity scanner market is mainly driven by the point of care diagnostics industry and lower radiation dosage used as compared to conventional CT scanning. Moreover, patient comfort provided by the CBCT scanners also plays a pivotal role in contributing to the CBCT extremity scanner market. However, affordability-related constraints among emerging economies are likely to restrain market growth to a certain extent.

The global CBCT extremity scanner market can be segmented into by type, by patient position, by end-user, and by regions.

CBCT Extremity Scanner Market By Type

Based on type, the market is segmented into lower extremities and upper extremities. The lower extremities segment is expected to dominate the CBCT extremity scanner market during the forecast period. This segment growth can be attributed to rising cases of injuries in lower extremities due to sports like football, basketball, volleyball, rock climbing, boating, bike, car racing, etc.

CBCT Extremity Scanner Market By Patient Position

Based on patient position, the market is segmented into standing position, seated position, and supine position. The standing position segment is expected to dominate the CBCT extremity scanner market during the forecast period owing to several advantages. Standing position is mostly preferred by doctors, as it allows to view & measure structural deformities of lower extremities under natural load conditions.

CBCT Extremity Scanner Market By End User

Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into hospitals and diagnostic clinics. The hospitals segment is expected to dominate the CBCT extremity scanner market during the forecast period. CBCT scanner is one of the most essential equipment in hospital premises, as several extremity specific diagnostic & therapeutic procedures. Moreover, the high demand for minimally invasive surgeries proves to be significantly beneficial for the growth of this segment.

CBCT Extremity Scanner Market By Region

Based on region, the global CBCT extremity scanner market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (ROW). North America dominated the CBCT extremity scanner market followed by Europe. The growth in North America can be attributed to the technological advancements, availability of advanced healthcare facilities and continual product innovations.
