Helical CT Scanner Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Type (Double-Layer and Multi-Layer), Slice Type (1-16 Slices, 17-64 Slices, 128-160 Slices, and >160 Slices),

The helical CT scanner market size is expected to grow from US$ 913.87 million in 2024 to US$ 1,300.12 million by 2031; it is projected to register a CAGR of 5.28% during 2025-2031. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, technological advancements in imaging, and a growing geriatric population are noteworthy factors contributing to the expansion of the helical CT scanner market size. Additionally, the hybrid imaging systems combining CT with other modalities are projected to bring new helical CT scanner market trends in the near future. The helical arrangement, which is necessary for volumetric coverage in dynamic imaging, works very well with photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT). PCCT, by counting individual photons and discriminating energy levels, makes the helical scans more efficient, thus allowing ultra-low-dose protocols to be used while maintaining the diagnostic fidelity. To locate tumors with less ambiguity, PCCT in oncology makes use of its excellent tissue characterization to differentiate the changes in the iodine uptake by the tissues during the helical abdominal scans. Research on the prototype PCD CT scanners showed that at low helical pitches, photon starvation artifacts were significantly diminished, thus fewer noise streaks could be seen in dense regions like the pelvis, the CNR enhancement was at a level of up to 30% in comparison with energy-integrating detectors (EIDs). Integrating PCCT-equipped helical scanners in oncology leads to accurate tumor delineation as well as detection improvement of microcalcifications, which in turn facilitates early diagnosis and treatment planning. In the field of cardiology, the use of photon-counting detectors helps to reduce the blooming artifacts that appear around stents and calcifications and thus the accuracy of coronary artery assessments is improved. The field of Neurology also gets its share, as it can now visualize more clearly the small vessels and brain structures that are very important in the case of stroke and trauma. PCCT technology is gradually changing the face of helical CT scanners with the capabilities of delivering images that are sharper, faster, and safer. The emergence of PCCT is a great leap towards precision medicine that covers a spectrum of requirements from pediatric low-dose trauma scans to geriatric oncology surveillance and thus it facilitates the spread of advanced diagnostics to the masses. With the advent of research and development in multi-energy thresholds and AI reconstruction at a faster pace, PCCT is going to be a complete turnaround in the helical scanning sector, thus safer, and sharper insights will always be the case for a wide variety of patient needs, and are expected to emerge as a significant trend in the helical CT scanner market. End User-Based Insights Based on end user, the helical CT scanner market is segmented into hospitals, medical centers, and ambulatory surgical centers. The hospitals segment held the largest helical CT scanner market share in 2024. As a result of their central role in handling complex diagnostics and treatments, hospitals are the major end-user segment that has contributed to the worldwide market for helical CT scanners. The largest part of this growth is a consequence of the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders, e.g., about 2 million new cancer cases per year in the USA, which leads to the need for accurate imaging for early detection, staging and treatment monitoring. In such cases, helical CT scanners are ideal because their continuous spiral scanning allows quick, detailed 3D imaging in trauma, angiography, and multiphase organ studies, thus cutting the examination time to less than a minute and also alleviating patient discomfort. The expansion of hospitals with the incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies in developing regions drives the growth of the healthcare sector through large investments in healthcare infrastructure. Some of the great innovations such as AI-enabled reconstruction algorithms and multi-slice configurations (e.g., 128-160 slices) lower the radiation doses by as much as 50%, thus conforming to safety standards and giving an incentive for replacement of the old equipment while also enhancing image quality. To give an example, a big city hospital can utilize a multi-layer helical CT for the stroke unit in the emergency department, where highly accurate vascular imaging is used for thrombolysis guidance; thus, intervention can be quicker and fewer patients will be readmitted, thereby fueling the helical CT scanner market growth. The World Health Organization and the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion are among the primary and secondary sources referred to while preparing the helical CT scanner market report.
