Medical imaging has transformed health care by providing vital information in a timely, safe, and accurate manner. Imaging services include non-invasive imaging modalities such as x-rays, ultrasounds, nuclear medicine scans, MRIs, and CT scans, which are used to diagnose a variety of disorders. Furthermore, these imaging services aid in the early detection of disease, which assists in effective treatment. In the coming years, the U.K. imaging services market is expected to expand owing to the adoption of various advanced technologies by providers for improving medical imaging services and increasing the customer base. In May 2022, GE Healthcare and Alliance Medical signed an agreement to collaborate on a digital solution using data analytics and Al to improve productivity in hospital radiology departments in the U.K. Furthermore, due to rising NHS waiting times and referrals to the private sector, an increasing number of people are paying for private medical insurance, which is likely to enhance the market growth.
The U.K.'s imaging services had been poorly funded prior to the pandemic, with a lack of expertise in image acquisition and reporting. These were the result of substantial workforce and equipment limitations. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for significant changes in diagnostic services, but it has also presented many opportunities. Many beneficial changes in diagnostic procedures are observed, such as increased use of virtual consultations and community services. Although imaging services are returning to normal after the pandemic, with capacity and patient confidence regained, it is evident that significant investment is needed to address chronic underfunding in radiologists, radiographers, and imaging equipment.
