Data triangulation and market segmentation procedures were used to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying and analyzing various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. Additionally, top-down and bottom-up approaches verified and validated the MRI systems market.
Market Definition
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic technique designed to visualize/create images of the internal structures of the human body using magnetic and electromagnetic fields, which induce a resonance effect of hydrogen atoms on body parts. The associated software registers and processes the electromagnetic emission created by these atoms to produce images of the body structures. These modalities help healthcare professionals visualize the internal structure and surrounding tissues. MRI systems are primarily used in hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers.
