Helical CT Scanner Market Analysis Based on Segmental Evaluation:

Based on type, the helical CT scanner market is bifurcated into double-layer and multi-layer. The multi-layer segment held a significant helical CT scanner market share in 2024. A multi-layer scanner is equipped with sophisticated detectors having 64 or more rows—120 to 320 slices per rotation—commonly used for volumetric imaging in a single breath-hold. This setup yields isotropic resolution lower than 0.5 mm, thus allowing very detailed 3D datasets to be captured in a very short time and with very few artifacts. For instance, Philips' Ingenuity Elite, a 128-slice multi-layer system, through the use of high-precision cardiac CT angiography, can image coronary arteries in less than 5 seconds at doses lower than a millisievert, thereby providing an excellent means for the detection of stenosis in patients with high-risk conditions. Canon Medical's Aquilion ONE Genesis with 320 rows is a good example of a device that is highly versatile in the neurovascular stroke protocol, as it can produce the perfusion maps in real-time for the time-critical intervention that is regularly done in urban stroke centers. The multi-layer segment in Helical CT scanners has been expanding due to the factors that include faster imaging, higher resolution, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, shorter scan time, and increasing demand for advanced medical imaging technologies.

The geographical scope of the helical CT scanner market report encompasses an assessment of the market performance in North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, South America, Central America, the Middle East, and Africa. North America dominated the helical CT scanner market share in 2024. A significant contributor is the increased prevalence of chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and respiratory illnesses, which call for diagnostic imaging that is both accurate and rapid. The aging population in the area also lifts the demand, as older people are more likely to be given regular medical imaging.

Technological innovations in helical CT scanners, such as faster imaging, higher resolution, and reduced radiation, have made these devices more efficient and safer for patients; thus, more healthcare facilities are adopting them. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in diagnostic imaging enhances the accuracy and speed, thus improving clinical decision-making.

Government programs and funding for healthcare infrastructure modernization, as well as attractive reimbursement measures in the US and Canada, are facilitating market growth.  Healthcare providers and patients are becoming more aware of the benefits of early diagnosis, driving demand for advanced CT imaging, thereby boosting the helical CT scanner market growth.

Furthermore, the market dominance by leading players and continuous research and development investments in imaging technologies lead to product innovation, propelling the market growth.

Besides,​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ the diseases that lifestyle factors such as obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity have caused are increasing, thus the need for these scanners in hospitals and diagnostic centers is becoming more and more. As a matter of fact, leading healthcare institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic have installed state-of-the-art helical CT machines by companies like GE Healthcare and Siemens Healthineers to facilitate oncology screenings and cardiac evaluations. Therefore, the above-mentioned factors support the growth of the global helical CT scanner market.

GE HealthCare Technologies Inc, Neusoft Medical Systems, Siemens Healthineers AG, Koninklijke Philips NV, NeuroLogica Corp, Canon Inc, Narang Medical Limited, FUJIFILM Holdings Corp, SinoVision Technology (Beijing) Co. Ltd., and Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co. Ltd. are among the leading companies profiled in the helical CT scanner market report.

Based on type, the helical CT scanner market is bifurcated into double-layer and multi-layer. By slice type, the market is segmented into 1-16 slices, 17-64 slices, 128-160 slices, and >160 slices. On the basis of end user, the helical CT scanner market is classified into hospitals, medical centers, and ambulatory surgical centers. Geographically, the helical CT scanner market is segmented into North America (US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), the Middle East and Africa (Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East and Africa), and South and Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South and Central America).
