Meningitis Imaging Industry:
Acute bacterial meningitis is a common, severe, neurological illness that may lead to death or neurological disabilities. Thus, when a patient suffers from meningitis, it is very important that the healthcare professionals perform diagnostic tests to confirm whether the disease is caused due to a virus or bacteria. If it is bacterial meningitis, it can be fatal or the patient has to deal with severe health issues including learning disabilities, deafness, and brain damage. However, viral meningitis is less severe than bacterial meningitis and has no specific treatment. Most of the time, imaging helps to understand the progress of the disease and possible abnormalities in bones, tissues, blood, and organs. CT scan or MRI could help understand whether the meninges are inflamed or not.
According to Allied Market Research, the global meningitis imaging market is expected to reach $243.72 thousand by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2030. Increase in prevalence of meningitis disease, technological advancements in meningitis imaging systems, and use of artificial intelligence and augmented reality have boosted the market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Meningitis Imaging Market (Pre & Post Analysis)
However, in 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to have a negative impact on the growth of the meningitis imaging market, especially in the initial period. The implementation of global lockdown restricted the functioning hours of all endoscopy procedures across the world. In order to maintain the social distancing norms, most of the departments in the hospitals were closed and few of them were opened with limited staff. Nevertheless, the global meningitis imaging market is going to get back on track with a steady pace, once the lockdown is completely over.

Use of MRI to Diagnose Meningitis
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method is used widely for diagnosing meningitis. It uses strong magnets coupled with computer-generated radio waves to develop a picture of the body. These images offer a detailed idea about the progression of the disease compared to the conventional CT scan. Moreover, MRI can spot whether there is inflammation in the brain or/and spinal cord and the possibility of eye disease, tumors, among other illnesses.
Over the last few years, the development in technologies have help clinicians to diagnose meningitis in couple of hours. There are tests to confirm the cause of meningitis in around 24 hours however, bacterial meningitis can kill quickly which increases the demand for faster diagnostic tests. While there are some rapid tests available, they are evidently costly which restricts the widespread adoption. Moreover, these tests are not highly reliable and fail to ensure that only people with meningitis test positive. Thus, the diagnostics of meningitis depends on healthcare professionals’ expertise and MRI. In some cases, a CT scan and chest X-ray could offer insights on the progression of the diseases and identify the underlying diseases such as bleeding, tumors, and abscesses. For now, MRI is the widely accepted, cost-effective method for the diagnosis of meningitis. In the future, the advent of AI and other advanced technologies is expected to increase the speed of diagnosis.
