Market Overview

Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images of the inside of the body. It shows bones, organs, blood vessels, and tissues more clearly than regular X-rays. Doctors use CT scans to diagnose diseases, detect injuries, and plan treatments. Additionally, the Brazil Computed Tomography (CT) market is growing due to rising demand for early disease diagnosis, increasing cases of cancer and cardiovascular disorders, and expanding access to advanced healthcare facilities. Government investments in public hospitals, the adoption of modern CT technologies, and growing awareness about preventative imaging also support market expansion. For instance, computed tomography (CT) was used to assess COVID in the nation, according to a research report published in July 2020 with the title "Computed tomography findings in a Brazilian cohort of 48 patients with pneumonia owing to coronavirus disease.

Additionally, experience from a Brazilian reference centre" was published in October 2020 at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Program in Pneumology Sciences, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. In the early stages of the Brazilian COVID-19 outbreak, the study assessed the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and reproducibility of chest CT standards. A 16-slice CT was used for the chest CT, and patients were placed in the supine position during end-inspiration without receiving any contrast agent. Therefore, these studies would help the market grow. Thus, the market is expected to grow in the future.
