Radiology Information System (RIS) Market: Strategic Insights

Radiology Information System (RIS) Market Drivers and Opportunities

Advancements in Diagnostic Imaging Solutions to Favor Market

The introduction of digital imaging has transformed the field of radiology. It catalysed the transition from traditional film-based imaging to digital formats, optimized data management, and increased accessibility. Digital image processing also led to significant improvements in image quality. RIS allows healthcare staff to set appointments for individuals on both inpatient and outpatient bases. Radiology has advanced toward computerized management in the health service and has responded to the demand for cost-efficient and rapid communication between departments of radiology and their users. In the last few years, there have been various developments in imaging modalities within healthcare for diagnostic purposes. In recent years, many advances have been made in digital radiography, including AI-assisted X-ray interpretation, dual-energy imaging, tomosynthesis, computer-aided diagnosis, automatic image stitching, and digital mobile radiography. These advances have resulted in improved image quality, helping to improve patient care and achieve better patient outcomes. In addition, using digital radiography reduces the need for repeat imaging, which has the advantage of lower radiation exposure.

Growing Adoption of Healthcare IT Services in Emerging Economies – An Opportunity for Radiology Information System (RIS) Market Growth

Globally, there is a growing need for technology adoption in radiology services to meet the demands. The future of RIS lies in the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). AI algorithms can help radiologists analyze images, detect abnormalities, and support decisions. ML algorithms can continuously learn from massive amounts of data and refine diagnoses and treatment plans. Improved connectivity through Internet and mobile technology, teleradiology, artificial intelligence, developments in medical imaging informatics, and portable or mobile medical imaging devices can enable remote locations in any country to access better healthcare and diagnostics. Furthermore, in developing countries, health systems are becoming more technologically friendly as the countries are experiencing an internationalization of care as established brands. For instance, the US-based Cleveland Clinic expanded their markets in the UAE, and England-based start-up Babylon, a primary care diagnostic app powered by machine learning and AI, entered into China and Rwanda.
