1 Market Overview
1.1 Definition and presentation
In recent years, the field of diagnostic imaging has experienced exponential growth, becoming a key pillar in health care. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), technological advancement in this field has radically transformed methodologies for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, providing healthcare professionals with increasingly sophisticated tools for the confirmation, evaluation and monitoring of different clinical conditions. With the global diagnostic imaging market projected to reach $53.344 billion by 2028, up from $38.034 billion in 2022, and a compound annual growth rate(CAGR) of 5.8 percent projected from 2022 to 2028, the importance of this sector is indisputable. In Italy, the market has shown significant growth, with a 30.3% increase in revenue from 2017 to 2021, signaling growing interest and investment in this area.
In parallel with technological development,artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to play a key role in diagnostic imaging, marking one of the most significant advances in the field of Computer Vision (CV). This innovation focuses on the analysis and interpretation of images and videos, and has been successfully applied in radiology for the detection and classification of abnormalities in X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The use of AI has not only led to more accurate diagnoses but has also improved the efficiency of decision-making, paving the way for faster, more effective and more personalized health care.
The convergence of the rapid development of AI and the evolution of diagnostic imaging sets the stage for a revolution in patient care and treatment, with profound implications for the future of the healthcare industry. This market research aims to explore the current and future dynamics of diagnostic imaging, with a particular focus on the impact of artificial intelligence and growth prospects in the Italian context, in order to understand emerging trends and opportunities for innovation in the field.

Bracco Imaging Receives Favorable CHMP Opinion for Gadopiclenol - 13/10/2023
Bracco Imaging has received a favorable CHMP opinion for Gadopiclenol as an MRI injectable solution:
- The solution is indicated for adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older for MRI of the central nervous system and various body organs.
- Gadopiclenol was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2022.
- it is a very stable macrocyclic contrast agent with the highest relaxivity among all other GBCAs on the market, and its approved dose is half that of other macrocyclic GBCAs for similar indications.
- The CHMP opinion is based on the results of two prospective clinical trials (PICTURE and PROMISE), conducted in more than 500 adult patients.
- These studies compared the safety and efficacy of 0.05 mmol/kg gadopiclenol versus 0.1 mmol/kg gadobutrol in different anatomic regions.
- Gadopiclenol offers two- to three-fold higher relaxivity than other available GBCAs and can be used with any MRI scanner.
- Its macrocyclic structure confers high stability and allows diagnostic efficiency at a lower dose than other GBCAs, reducing the risk of gadolinium retention in body tissues and the environment.
