Sintesi

The global diagnostic imaging market has seen substantial growth, with a notable increase across different regions and technological categories. In the years starting from 2020, a trend of increased imports of medical imaging equipment is evident in Italy, indicating a rising dependence on foreign technology. Particularly, Germany is a significant exporter to Italy. Moreover, growth is also identified in exports, particularly for X-ray equipment, with a diverse set of trading partners. Italy's healthcare infrastructure encompasses a range of facilities where private accredited institutions prevail in certain care types. Diagnostic imaging services across the nation are largely provided by specialist outpatient care facilities, and there is a blend of technological modalities in use, including nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology. The equipment distribution among regions shows Lombardy, Latium, and Campania having the highest numbers. Demographic data suggest an aging population with a median age inclined towards the elderly, which, along with variable household incomes, affects the demand for diagnostic imaging. The market itself is characterized by a small number of dominant international players, given high entry costs and significant R&D involvement, with a complex value chain that includes equipment manufacturing, maintenance, and data processing software. Despite a small dip in 2021, the sector's companies and employment have been on the rise.

Diagnostic Imaging Market Trends in Italy: Harnessing Technology for Advanced Patient Care

As we delve into the Italian diagnostic imaging market, we encounter a health care landscape profoundly influenced by technological advancements and a robust demand for high-quality imaging services. Key to the market's dynamics is the interplay between aging demographics, economic capacity, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) in imaging techniques like Computer Vision (CV). In Italy, the diagnostic imaging sector has been on a significant upward trajectory. Between 2017 and 2021, there was considerable growth of approximately 30 percent in industry turnover. This surge is indicative of heightened interest and investment, with a current market poised for further expansion. The incorporation of AI in radiology, particularly in anomaly detection and classification, heralds a new era of precision and efficiency in diagnostic procedures. On a global scale, the diagnostic imaging market is projected to soar to between $50 and $55 billion by 2028, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of about 5 to 6 percent from 2022 onwards. This growth is partly fueled by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, which necessitates early and accurate detection, and is further bolstered by developing economies with large populations and an escalating need for sophisticated health care solutions. In Italy, there's a distinct concentration in the northern regions where the bulk of health care facilities are located, such as in Lombardy, Piedmont, and Veneto. These regions house the largest number of health care facilities, correlating with the demand for diagnostic imaging services. For instance, over 2 million nuclear medicine and more than 50 million diagnostic radiology tests were conducted in 2021 alone, with a considerable proportion of these procedures taking place in the aforementioned regions. Furthermore, Italy's demographic profile plays a significant role in shaping the diagnostic imaging market. With a population of about 59 million, of which more than 5 million are foreign nationals, the country grapples with an aging population that increasingly requires medical imaging services. Moreover, with an average household income ranging between €19,000 and €54,000, many Italians allocate a portion of their resources to private health care due to the high costs associated with private diagnostic imaging. Health care expenditure also points to the substantial financial investment in maintaining well-being, with a 4.7 percent rise in health care spending witnessed in 2022. Chronic conditions like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are prevalent, leading many Italians to seek frequent diagnoses, a significant percentage of which.

Bracco Imaging riceve il parere favorevole del CHMP per Gadopiclenol - 13/10/2023

Bracco Imaging ha ricevuto un parere favorevole del CHMP per Gadopiclenol come soluzione iniettabile per la risonanza magnetica:

  • La soluzione è indicata per pazienti adulti e pediatrici di età pari o superiore a 2 anni per la risonanza magnetica del sistema nervoso centrale e diversi organi del corpo. 
  • Il Gadopiclenol è stato approvato dalla Food and Drug Administration (FDA) degli Stati Uniti nel settembre 2022. 
  • È un agente di contrasto macrociclico molto stabile, con la più alta relassività tra tutti gli altri GBCA sul mercato, e la sua dose approvata è la metà di quella degli altri GBCA macrociclici per indicazioni simili. 
  • Il parere del CHMP è basato sui risultati di due studi clinici prospettici (PICTURE e PROMISE), condotti su più di 500 pazienti adulti. 
  • Questi studi hanno confrontato la sicurezza e l’efficacia di 0,05 mmol/kg di gadopiclenolo rispetto a 0,1 mmol/kg di gadobutrolo in diverse regioni anatomiche. 
  • Il gadopiclenolo offre una relassività da due a tre volte superiore rispetto agli altri GBCA disponibili e può essere utilizzato con qualsiasi scanner MRI. 
  • La sua struttura macrociclica conferisce un'elevata stabilità e permette una efficienza diagnostica a una dose inferiore rispetto ad altri GBCA, riducendo il rischio di ritenzione di gadolinio nei tessuti corporei e nel ambiente.
