Artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging involves the application of AI algorithms to analyze medical images, providing quantitative assessments of radiographic characteristics. AI plays a crucial role in automatically identifying and categorizing pulmonary nodules as benign or malignant, contributing to potentially life-saving interventions. Additionally, AI aids in diagnostic predictions for brain tumors and automates radiation treatment planning.
The primary modalities of artificial intelligence in medical imaging include computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-rays, ultrasound, and nuclear imaging. AI algorithms contribute to improving image quality by reducing noise, enhancing contrast, and optimizing image reconstruction techniques. This results in clearer and more detailed images, facilitating accurate diagnoses. Various technologies, including deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and others, find applications in neurology, respiratory and pulmonary imaging, cardiology, breast screening, orthopedics, and are utilized by hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and other end-users.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

This AI in medical imaging market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The artificial intelligence in medical imaging market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.42 billion in 2024 to $4.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for AI-powered CT, the rise in the prevalence of cancer, increasing adoption of cloud computing, the rising geriatric population, the implementation of favorable government initiatives.
The artificial intelligence in medical imaging market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing attention to lessen radiologists workload, the rising geriatric population, growing investment, rising demand for the influx of large and complex datasets, increasing demand for AI-powered CT. Major trends in the forecast period include computer vision techniques enable ai algorithms to analyze medical images, technology advancement of deep learning, product innovations like nuclear medicine, technologies such as ultrasound systems, magnetic resonance imaging product innovation.
The forecast of 31.1% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper U.S. diagnostic capabilities by increasing the cost of Artificial intelligence(AI)-enhanced mammography analysis systems and CT scan triage software sourced from Japan and Belgium, thereby delaying critical findings and elevating radiology department expenditures. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of imaging modalities is set to drive the growth of AI in the medical imaging market in the foreseeable future. Imaging modalities encompass various medical imaging techniques employed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes to visualize the body. AI algorithms play a crucial role in medical modalities, contributing to image reconstruction, noise reduction, and artifact correction. These advancements lead to clearer and more accurate CT images. As reported by the National Health Service in July 2022, England witnessed 43.3 million imaging tests in the 12 months from April 2021 to March 2022, with approximately 3.67 million imaging tests reported in March 2022. Consequently, the escalating adoption of imaging modalities is steering the growth of AI in the medical imaging market.
Prominent companies in the AI in the medical imaging market are at the forefront of developing innovative products, exemplified by AI-enabled MRI systems, aimed at enhancing patient care. An AI-enabled MRI system refers to a traditional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. In December 2023, GE Healthcare, a U.S.-based medical technology company, introduced SIGNA Champion, an AI-enabled MRI system. This system is tailored to provide several AI-enabled workflow features such as AIR Recon DL and Sonic DL, supporting efficiency and ensuring excellence in image quality for users across different experience levels. SIGNA Champion's distinctive features include generous patient clearance inside the bore and short scan times.
In October 2022, Exo, a U.S.-based health information and medical devices company, completed the acquisition of Medo AI for an undisclosed amount. The integration of Exo's robust hardware and workflow technologies with Medo's AI is anticipated to significantly address challenges that have historically impeded the widespread adoption of point-of-care ultrasound. Medo AI, based in Canada, stands as a key player in providing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in medical imaging.
