"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
A contrast agent referred to as contrast medium, is a substance used to increase the contrast of structures of fluids in the body during medical imaging. Contrast agents enhance the visibility of the targeted tissues, structures or blood vessels. Contrast agents alter or absorb external electromagnetism or ultrasound, which further emits radiation themselves. Barium-based contrast media, iodinated contrast media, gadolinium-based contrast media and microbubble contrast media are generally used contrast agents during MRI and ultrasound. Increasing prevalence of cancer, neurological and cardiovascular diseases, growing partnerships and acquisition among players to launch new products, and emerging innovations in contrast media are some of the factors likely to boost the global contrast media market during the forecast period.
Growing demand for image-guided diagnostics and procedures, increasing incidence & prevalence of cardiac diseases, and cancer, technological advancements in medical imaging techniques are some of the major driving the growth of contrast media market during the forecast period.
