分子乳房影像也稱為閃爍X光攝影、核醫乳房影像和乳房特異性伽馬成像,是一種先進的、經 FDA 批准的成像技術,用於識別乳房組織緻密的女性的乳癌。分子乳房影像使用特殊的相機和少量放射性追蹤劑來突出組織活動的差異,並將健康、緻密的組織與乳房不規則的組織區分開來。這是一項高度準確的影像研究,丟失癌細胞的可能性很低。
此外,透過靜脈注射管向患者施用少量放射性示蹤劑。該示踪劑被快速分裂的細胞(包括癌細胞)迅速吸收,並在成像結果上突出顯示。患者將乳房放在一個類似乳房X光檢查機的特殊平台上。輕輕擠壓乳房,用特殊的伽瑪相機捕捉高品質影像,但這種輕微的擠壓不應引起不適。伽瑪相機記錄乳房組織活動約 20 分鐘。
分子乳房影像擴大用於乳癌篩檢,預計將在預測期內推動市場發展。分子乳房影像因其檢測乳癌的靈敏度較高而聞名,特別是對於乳房組織緻密的女性。它可以幫助識別單獨透過乳房X光檢查可能漏掉的腫瘤。準確性的提高是其採用的重要推動力。
此外,分子乳房影像通常與乳房X光攝影術一起用作補充篩檢工具。此外,在乳房 X 光檢查得出不確定結果或需要其他資訊時,這種影像技術可以透過降低錯過或延遲癌症診斷的風險來提供有價值的見解。
這種成像技術的不斷進步使其更易於使用。這些技術改進,例如數位伽瑪相機的開發和更舒適的成像程序,使其成為更具吸引力的選擇。通常建議高風險患者使用,例如有乳癌家族史或已知基因突變(如 BRCA1 和 BRCA2)的患者。早期檢測癌症的能力可以挽救這些人的生命。
例如,2021 年 2 月 9 日,SmartBreast Corporation 宣布與 FoxSemicon Integrated Technologies, Inc. (FITI) 建立合作夥伴關係,生產分子乳房成像 (MBI) 系統。 FITI 對 SmartBreast 進行了大量投資,並將成為 SmartBreast 最近收購的兩個 MBI 系統(GE Healthcare Discovery NM 750b 和 Dilon Technologies D6800)的合約製造商。 SmartBreast 將把這兩個系統分別重新命名為 EVE CLEAR SCAN e750 和 e680。 SmartBreast 和 FITI 將共同開發和製造創新、經濟高效的下一代 MBI 系統,以進一步提高早期癌症檢測的功效並提高採用率。
此外,乳癌盛行率的增加、FDA 對新型和先進乳房分子影像技術的批准不斷增加、增加臨床試驗以開發更先進的設備、提高人們對分子乳房影像設備開發的認知和進步,這些因素預計將推動乳房影像技術的發展。預測期內的市場。
與分子乳房成像相關的併發症、與該成像技術相關的高成本、該測試無法檢測所有癌症以及分子乳房成像中的示踪劑可能產生過敏反應等因素預計將阻礙該市場。
Molecular breast imaging also known as scintimammography, nuclear medicine breast imaging and breast-specific gamma imaging, is an advanced and FDA-approved imaging technology that is used to identify breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue. Molecular breast imaging uses a special camera and a small amount of radioactive tracer to spotlight differences in tissue activity and differentiate healthy, dense tissue from breast irregularities. It is a highly accurate imaging study with a low chance of missing cancerous cells.
Moreover, a small amount of radioactive tracer is administered to the patient through an intravenous line. The tracer is swiftly absorbed by rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, and appears highlighted on imaging results. The patient places her breast on a special platform which is similar to that of a mammogram machine. The breast is gently compressed to capture high-quality images with a special gamma camera, but this light compression should not cause discomfort. The gamma cameras record the breast's tissue activity for about 20 minutes.
The increasing adoption of molecular breast imaging for breast cancer screening is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Molecular breast imaging is known for its higher sensitivity in detecting breast cancer, particularly in women with dense breast tissue. It can help identify tumors that might be missed by mammography alone. This increased accuracy is a significant driver of its adoption.
Moreover, molecular breast imaging is often used as a complementary screening tool alongside mammography. Also, in cases where the mammograms yield inconclusive results or when additional information is needed, this imaging technique can provide valuable insights by reducing the risk of missed or delayed cancer diagnoses.
Ongoing advancements in this imaging technology have made it more accessible and easier to use. These technological improvements like the development of digital gamma cameras and more comfortable imaging procedures, make it a more attractive option. It is often recommended for high-risk patients such as those with a family history of breast cancer or known genetic mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2. The ability to detect cancer at an earlier stage can be lifesaving for these individuals.
For instance, on February 9, 2021, SmartBreast Corporation released that it has formed a partnership with FoxSemicon Integrated Technologies, Inc. (FITI) to manufacture Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) systems. FITI has invested substantially in SmartBreast and will be the contract manufacturer for two MBI systems recently acquired by SmartBreast, the GE Healthcare Discovery NM 750b and the Dilon Technologies D6800. SmartBreast will rebrand the two systems as EVE CLEAR SCAN e750 and e680, respectively. Together, SmartBreast and FITI will co-develop and manufacture innovative, cost-effective, next-generation MBI systems to further increase the efficacy of detecting cancer in the earlier stage and to increase the adoption.
Further, the increasing prevalence of breast cancers, rising FDA approvals for novel and advanced molecular imaging techniques for breast, increasing clinical trials to develop more advanced devices, increasing awareness and advancements in the development of molecular breast imaging devices are the factors expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
Factors such as complications associated with molecular breast imaging, the high cost of associated with this imaging technique, this test can't detect all cancers and the tracer in the molecular breast imaging can develop allergic reactions are expected to hamper the market.
The global molecular breast imaging market is segmented based on design type, modality, application, end-user and region.
The gamma camera segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The gamma camera in molecular breast imaging is mainly responsible for capturing images of the breast tissue after the injection of a radioactive tracer. It detects gamma rays emitted from the tracer, which is preferentially taken up by areas with increased metabolic activity, such as breast cancerous tumors.
Furthermore, the sensitivity of the gamma camera is crucial in detecting even small or low-activity tumors in the breast. This molecular breast imaging which consists of the gamma camera offers another option for women to be proactive about their breast health. Modern gamma cameras are designed for efficiency by allowing for quicker image acquisition and reduced radiation exposure for patients. Efficiency is a vital consideration, as it impacts patient comfort.
Additionally, the gamma cameras of molecular breast imaging often come equipped with advanced image processing and analysis software. These tools aid radiologists in interpreting the images, making the camera an integral part of the diagnostic process. The design and functionality of the gamma camera can significantly influence the patient's experience. A comfortable and well-designed camera can help reduce anxiety and improve the overall patient experience during the molecular breast imaging procedure.
North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period owing to the strong presence of major players and increasing research activities. North America especially the United States is a hub for its strong presence of major players such as diagnostic companies and medical device companies. The presence of major players actively focusing on the development of more advanced molecular breast imaging by the technological advancements for better adoption along with better patient outcomes.
Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of breast cancer in the region is very high, which is considered to drive the market in the region. Due to the high prevalence of breast cancer in the region, it is known for the increased adoption for the diagnosis and screening of breast cancer. Early detection reduces the death rate of the patients by early detection and diagnosis.
For instance, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH), 2021, in the United States, there are over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer annually with over 46,000 women dying of the disease. Over the past two decades, the death rate from breast cancer has decreased by over 40%, a monumental achievement, due to the combination of improved detection as well as improved, increasingly targeted therapies. When breast cancer is detected early, over 95% of women survive more than five years.
The major global players in the molecular breast imaging market include: CMR Naviscan Corporation, SmartBreast Corporation and DIGIRAD HEALTH, INC. among others.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the global molecular breast imaging market. During the pandemic, molecular breast imaging procedures are postponed or canceled temporarily due to the redirected focus on the pandemic and its associated risks. Molecular breast imaging experienced a drop in patient volumes as people postponed routine visits. The pandemic disrupted supply chains for the components and materials needed for molecular breast imaging systems. Delays in the manufacturing and distribution of these components affected the availability of these imaging equipment.
The global molecular breast imaging market report would provide approximately 48 tables, 59 figures, and 187 Pages.
