Introduction to Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound System
The transcranial doppler ultrasound system is the technology that provides real time measures of cerebrovascular functions and measures the blood velocity through brain arteries. It is measured by using the echoes of ultrasonic waves that move transracially. In these systems, the high frequency sound waves are bounced back through the substances that are then detected and measured by the probes. The system basically works on the principle of Doppler Effect owing to which different frequency of echoes are generated depending on the speed and direction of the blood flow. This system is also used as neuroimaging tool for measuring the blood flow velocity in cerebral owing to the neural activation when different tasks are performed.
Market Size and Forecast
The global transcranial doppler ultrasound system market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 6.5% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027 owing to its ability to detect various cerebrovascular disease and heart blood flow related diseases. The rising technological innovations and development coupled with high investment in healthcare sector and increased rate of diseases that require ultrasound to be done are anticipated to increase the market growth. The market is segmented by application type, end user type, equipment type, display mode type and mode type. The equipment type is further segmented into imaging and non-imaging out of which, the imaging segment is anticipated to have leading shares on the account of its efficient features that could combine derived anatomical information with velocity information such that color coded maps are generated, making it possible to look into the blood movement through various arteries, veins and heart. The application type is segmented into sickle cell disease, acute ischemic stroke, intracranial steno occlusive disease and micro emboli detection, out of which the sickle cell disease segment is anticipated to have significant growth on the back of high stroke risk in the early childhood period and possibility of its prevention by using trans cranial doppler ultrasound technique as primary stroke prevention technique. The end user segment is segmented into hospitals, diagnostic labs and others out of which the hospitals segment is anticipated to have maximum shares in market growth on the back of the fact that the hospitals are multi-specialty and have number of healthcare infrastructure facilities coupled with availability of advanced features and facilities required for functioning of these ultrasound systems.
