Domestic enterprises have accelerated the layout of medical imaging equipment and conquered key core technologies

【Pharmaceutical Network Market Analysis】 Medical imaging equipment is a diagnostic equipment, through the examination of the equipment can find the cause of dysfunction caused by disease or injury, obtain relevant information about the internal structure of the human body, understand whether there are lesions inside the human body, the size, shape, scope of the lesions, and the relationship with surrounding tissues and organs
.
Such as computed X-ray imaging equipment (DR nuclear CT equipment), magnetic resonance imaging equipment (MRI), ultrasound imaging equipment (USG) and nuclear medicine equipment (NMI).

There are many types of medical imaging equipment, which can be mainly divided into radiation equipment, non-radiation equipment and fusion equipment
.
In the medical device industry, medical imaging equipment is a market
segment with high technical barriers.
Data show that in modern hospitals, about 75%~85% of treatment information comes from medical graphics and images, driven by the breakthrough of medical imaging core technology, high-performance medical imaging equipment has developed rapidly, providing effective tools
for the early diagnosis and treatment of major clinical diseases.
In recent years, with the progress of the overall research and development level of domestic medical equipment, the core technology of medical imaging equipment products has also been gradually overcome, and even some domestic enterprises have achieved corner overtaking through technological innovation
.
It is understood that in order to accelerate the process of domestic import substitution of medical imaging equipment, China's medical device companies have also continued to tackle key
core technologies.
For example, Neusoft Medical, supported by NeuBrainCARE, also integrates powerful high-end medical imaging equipment and information management software such as CT, MRI, DSA to build a one-stop emergency treatment model and stroke center solution
。 Neusoft Medical also disclosed in the prospectus that it will increase R&D investment funds for the development of ultra-high-end CT, photon counting detector CT, low-cost CT and large-aperture CT; Development of high-field and ultra-high-field MRI and 1.
5T MRI products; Development of economical DSA products and high-end DSA products; Development of innovative high-end PET/CT; Development of core components such as CT tubes, detectors, magnets, and ultrasonic probes
.
Technological progress is the core driving force for the development of
the medical imaging equipment industry.
United Imaging Medical also shows in the prospectus that it is committed to providing global customers with high-performance medical imaging equipment, radiotherapy products, life science instruments and medical digital and intelligent solutions, covering magnetic resonance imaging systems (MR), X-ray computed tomography (CT), X-ray imaging systems (XR), molecular imaging systems (MI), radiotherapy systems (RT) and life science instruments
。 It is reported that under the impetus of technical talents, United Imaging Medical has made key technological breakthroughs in medical imaging equipment, and in June 2021, United Imaging Medical released a "China Core"
dedicated to high-end medical imaging PET-CT.
In addition, in the past two years, domestic manufacturers such as Mindray Medical and Wandong Medical have also actively deployed in product fields such as XR, CT, MR and PET/CT, and have continuously increased their efforts
to develop the medical imaging equipment market 。 For example, in the field of medical imaging, Mindray has launched new products
such as POC ultra-high-end flat color ultrasound TEX20, basic color ultrasound solution ConsonaN9/8/7/6, professional ophthalmic color ultrasound "Cassia ZS3Ocular", non-invasive quantitative liver ultrasound "Milk Thistle Hepatus6/5", and new double-column fixed DRDigiEye330/350 series.
The industry said that under the two-wheel drive of market demand and policy dividends, China's medical imaging equipment market continues to grow
.
According to research reports, from 2015 to 2020, the compound growth rate of China's medical imaging equipment market is 12.
4%, and in 2020, the market size has exceeded 50 billion yuan
.
In addition, data show that the scale of China's medical imaging equipment market increased from 65.
5 billion yuan in 2017 to 95.
4 billion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.
8%, and it is expected that by 2026, this market will increase to 148.
6 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.
3%.

In recent years, China has continuously carried out technical research in the field of medical imaging equipment and promoted domestic substitution
of products.
However, some analysts also pointed out that compared with the world, China's medical imaging equipment industry still presents a situation
of low industry concentration, small enterprise scale, and few domestic products in the high-end market.
In order to better promote the development of medical imaging equipment in China, relevant enterprises also need to invest high in research and development and marketing, and continuously increase the development of
the medical imaging equipment market.
