Canada's medical imaging equipment market is well-established and deeply integrated into its publicly funded healthcare system. Advanced diagnostic technologies, including MRI and CT scanners, are extensively used across the country, supported by ongoing investments in digital health infrastructure and AI-driven imaging solutions. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and an aging population are major factors fueling the demand for sophisticated imaging tools. While access to these services is generally broad, continued efforts are being made to reduce wait times for scans and enhance overall imaging capacity.
For example, on March 21, 2025, Siemens Healthineers AG announced a strategic partnership with the Government of Alberta and the Alberta Cancer Foundation to improve cancer care in the province. Alberta’s government plans to invest approximately US$560 million (CAD 800 million) over the next eight years to enhance early detection, minimize diagnostic delays, and position the province as a leader in cancer innovation and research.
Likewise, on March 20, 2025, Siemens Healthineers AG announced the successful deployment of two CT scanners in New Brunswick—one at Horizon Health Network in Miramichi and another at Charlotte County Hospital in St. Stephen. These installations represent a significant advancement in expanding healthcare access for residents of these communities. The initiative underscores Siemens Healthineers’ ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge imaging technologies and improving diagnostic care for patients across Canada.
