A contrast injector is a medical device used to deliver contrast agents into a patient's bloodstream during imaging procedures such as CT, MRI, and angiography. One major application of contrast injectors is in computed tomography (CT) scans. During a CT scan, contrast injectors deliver contrast media intravenously to highlight blood vessels, organs, and tissues, providing clearer and more detailed images. This enhanced imaging is crucial for accurately diagnosing conditions such as tumors, vascular diseases, and internal injuries, enabling more precise treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
The Global Contrast Injector Market valued at USD 849.85 million in 2022, is projected to reach 1,294.40 million by 2030 and will grow at a CAGR of 5.40% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
