Contrast Media Market Share

In several radiology procedures, the iodinated and gadolinium-based contrast media are used frequently. These agents are often crucial to providing an accurate diagnosis and are almost always effective and safe when properly administered. Reactions to contrast media, nevertheless, do occur and may be life-threatening. Hence, understanding how reactions to contrast agents manifest and how to handle them promptly are important for the faculty and personnel.

Gadolinium contrast media (sometimes referred to as an MRI contrast media, chemicals, or 'dyes') are chemical compounds used in MRI scans. When the gadolinium contrast medium is inserted into the body, it strengthens and boosts the accuracy of the MRI pictures (or images). It helps the radiologist (a specialist doctor qualified to examine the images and send the doctor or physician a written report) to report more precisely on how the body works and whether there is any illness or abnormality present.

Based on Product Type, the market is segmented into Iodinated, Barium-based, Gadolinium-based and Microbubble. Based on Application, the market is segmented into Neurological disorders, Cancer, Cardiovascular disorders, Gastrointestinal disorders, Nephrological disorders, Musculoskeletal disorders and Other Applications. Based on Modality, the market is segmented into X-ray/CT, MRI and Ultrasound. Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa.
