The global spinal imaging market encompasses imaging modalities and procedures used for evaluating spinal disorders and spine-related conditions. Key modalities include X-ray, CT myelography, MRI, nuclear imaging, and ultrasound. Spinal imaging provides detailed anatomical information and helps diagnose spinal disorders effectively. It plays a vital role in evaluating degenerative conditions, infections, masses, fractures, structural deformities, and post-surgical assessment. The growing burden of spinal disorders due to lifestyle changes and rising geriatric population is a key factor fueling demand for spinal imaging procedures worldwide.
