According to the deep-dive market assessment study by Growth Plus Reports, the global optical imaging market was valued at US$ 1.73 billion in 2020 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 11.8% to reach US$ 5.9 billion by 2031.
Optical Imaging Market Fundamentals
Optical imaging is a non-invasive technique that uses light and the properties of photons to generate detailed images of organs, tissues, and cells. The wavelength of light used in optical imaging can range from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Optical imaging is mostly used for measuring multiple properties of soft tissue. This technique can also be combined with other imaging modalities, such as X-rays or MRI, to provide enhanced information for doctors.
Applications of optical imaging include a study of small-animal models, disease diagnostics, drug development, and study of the effects of a therapy. Clinical usage of optical imaging is increasing, especially for studying gynecologic malignancies. It can also be used for the detection of ovarian cancer, lymphoma, and intestinal adenoma.
