Global Microbubbles/Ultrasound Contrast Agents Market Outlook: 2015-2021
NEW YORK, April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microbubbles are composed of gas core stabilized by a shell of proteins, lipids, or polymers and have unique ability to respond to ultrasound, and thus are used as ultrasound contrast agents. The field of ultrasound contrast imaging has been literally bursting in the last decade. Incessant engineering advances in ultrasound technologies over the last decade have resulted in widespread usage of ultrasound for clinical applications.
The potential benefits of ultrasound such as low-cost, convenience, and real-time capability of ultrasound images has led to wide acceptance of this technology. When compared with other imaging modalities, the ultrasound molecular imaging has many advantages such as good temporal resolution, quantitative data, real-time practice, noninvasiveness, relatively inexpensive cost, and no ionizing radiation.
Microbubbles/ ultrasound contrast agents for medical imaging have been swiftly translated from exploratory research to clinical application. It helps to sharpen the image, improve the reliability of the scan and reduce the need for unnecessary downstream testing. In addition, microbubbles can be employed for diagnostic imaging and as a therapeutic tool. These are safe, convenient, completely radiation-free, versatile, and routinely used by physicians throughout the world to obtain a reliable ultrasound diagnosis.
The global microbubbles/ ultrasound contrast agents market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.7% to reach $797.5 million by 2021 from 2015.
