Contrast media substances or agents assist in increasing the contrast of structures or fluids of the body during medical imaging. They enhance the visibility of blood vessels. The global Contrast Media Market Insights is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the assessment period of 2022-2030, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR) in a detailed research report.

Rising prevalence of various chronic diseases, increasing burden of cancer, and hike in mortality rates on a global scale which generates high demand for diagnosis and image-guided procedures. Contrast media finds application in diverse modalities such as ultrasound, MRI scans, x-rays and in cath lab procedures.

Unlike x-rays, contrast agents are associated with fewer adverse drug reactions. The favorable safety profile of contrast media makes them the preferred choice for medical imaging purposes as they can even be used to diagnose pregnant women without any side effects.

Industry Updates

• In November 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the clinical use of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner which allows spotting pituitary tumors in crushing's patients. The new ultra-high field 7T Terra MRI scanner allows more reliable images of the brain and facilitates identification of very small tumors which standard MRI fails to spot.

• In October 2018, Israeli startup iNNOGING innovated breakthrough in sonography technology. The innovation will enable physicians to manipulate captured ultrasound video and allow virtual dynamic examination by conversion of the video clip into a 3D model without the presence of the patient.
