The global artificial intelligence in medical imaging market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 36% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030 and to reach valuation of USD 20.1 billion by 2030.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the imitation of human intelligence progressions by machines, mainly computer systems. Artificial intelligence has extensive applications in the healthcare sector. AI solutions assist healthcare providers in several aspects of patient care and administrative processes. Medical imaging can be defined as the diagnostic procedure that encompasses the formation of visual assistance and image representations of the human body and includes the monitoring of the execution and working of the organs of the human body.
Artificial intelligence primarily consists of two types, machine learning and robots. Machine learning comprises the recognition and application of the algorithm in computer systems for the interpretation of images, whereas robots assist doctors, patients, and operators in diagnostic procedures.

COVID-19 Impact
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has widely spread all over the world since the beginning of 2020. Artificial intelligence using the deep learning technology has earned great success in the medical imaging domain due to its high ability of feature extraction. Mainly, deep learning was applied to identify and differentiate bacterial and viral pneumonia on pediatric chest radiographs. Attempts have also been made to identify various imaging features of chest CT, resulting in increased popularity for AI in medical imaging market amid the pandemic. However, with COVID-19 cases on the rise across the world, emerging AI technologies are developed to support hospitals in scaling treatment in the second wave. The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted the demand for enterprise imaging and telehealth by providing remote access to images and reports. It also highlights the significance of expanding the use of AI and machine learning in imaging, with the dual goals of improving diagnoses and improving clinician well-being and job security.
Scientists have made important additions to the campaign of fighting against COVID-19; there are increasing research findings, with each passing day, such as analysis reports and publications reported by both industrial and academic researchers. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of medical imaging research in disease detection and prediction has been gaining popularity. As compared to traditional image processing approaches, AI-based image analysis algorithms provide more reliable, efficient, fast, stable, and reproducible disease information. Hence, image analysis, image segmentation of infected lung areas, and analyses for clinical evaluation are the foundations of AI-based COVID-19 diagnosis procedures. These AI-based approaches have demonstrated significant commercialization potential for AI in medical imaging market during the forecast period.
