    Medical Imaging

    Devices that produce images of the body for diagnosis or guidance.

    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed May 5, 2026

    Definition

    Medical imaging includes CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, PET, SPECT, and emerging modalities (photon-counting CT, low-field MRI, photoacoustic imaging). AI-based image analysis is a major growth area.

    What this means in practice

    GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, Philips, and Canon dominate hardware. AI imaging companies (RapidAI, Viz.ai, Aidoc, HeartFlow) layer on top of OEM systems with separate reimbursement (NTAP, Category III CPT).
