Radiology Information System Market– Statistics And Analysis & Forecast To 2026

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on April 7th, 2022

The global radiology information system market size is expected to reach USD 1.15 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. The market is majorly driven by an increase in the adoption of advanced technologies in healthcare facilities. Growing usage of digital healthcare infrastructure, which helps collect and manage information generated by hospitals, clinics, and institutes, has enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of their services. Moreover, an increase in the number of patients suffering from chronic diseases coupled with rising demand for cloud-based systems are expected to boost the market growth.

Potential opportunities for healthcare IT in reducing operating costs incurred while record keeping and meeting regulatory standards for privacy, as well as efficient hospital workflow management, are among other factors driving the uptake of Radiology Information System (RIS). Furthermore, it is expected that these systems will, in the long run, save money and allow organizations to earn significant profits.

Cloud-based RIS can be integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to form a comprehensive radiology software. Such AI tools, allow physicians to provide accurate and faster diagnosis and can be integrated with any third party AI tool. For instance, the RADSpa by Telerad Tech is a software platform consisting of RADSpa PACS and Viewer & RADSpa 2D/MPR/MIP/3D Viewer that enables receiving, storing and sending DICOM images along with managing the physician workflow.
