A radiology information system is a network software suite used by radiology departments to manipulate, store and distribute patient radiological data and imagery. A radiology information system helps in managing the administrative and operational functions of radiology. It complements hospital information system. Radiology information system is designed specifically for the radiology provider to take advantage of integration with the medical center’s healthcare information system.

Surgical lamp is a device which is used by medical personnel, such as doctors, dentists and surgeons, during surgical procedures such as neurosurgery, dental surgery, endoscopic surgery and optical surgery. Surgical lamps provide optimal illumination for operations. Surgeons require high intensity light that do not produces shadows and gives perfect brightness so they can visualize small and low-contrast objects in body cavity during surgery. Surgical lamps are used to meet the needs of operating room from large hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). These lamps help doctors and surgical teams to perform their task more safely and with less stress on their eyes. There are different types are lamps that are used by the surgeons during performing surgeries, such as tungsten, xenon halogens, quartz and light emitting diodes (LEDs).

E-health is a process of delivering healthcare and health resources by electronic means. It helps healthcare providers and patients to interact with each other with the help of electronic media. It is one of the fastest growing sectors in overall healthcare market. Currently, telemedicine market represents a small percentage of e-health market. Telemedicine is defined as use of telecommunication and information technology to deliver clinical solutions to the patients.

Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal growth of cell. These abnormal cells can infect other normal cells and tissues. Cancer cells can reach to other part of the body through blood and lymph system. There are more than 100 types of cancer and most of them are categorized by the organ, such as colon cancer and melanoma. Biopsy is a medical test performed to examine and remove cancerous tissue from the body. When a patient is suspected to having cancer, biopsy is used to extract tissues sample for diagnosis of the disease.

Dentistry is defined as the diagnosis, evaluation, surgical and nonsurgical procedures and prevention from the diseases or disorders in oral cavity and the maxillofacial area. Dental devices market covers dental biomaterials, dental implants, dental radiology equipment, orthodontic materials and products, ad/cam dental systems, digital dental x-ray systems, dental supplies, dental lasers and dental chairs and others. Dental implant refers to an artificial tooth or a tooth root that is embedded into the upper or lower jawbone surgically. Dental implants are durable, stable and strong; however, due to some complications, they need to be re-tightened or replaced occasionally.

Diagnostic imaging is a non-invasive technique for visualization of internal organs, tissues and others. Images produced may be 2D or 3D in nature depending upon the nature of machine being used for diagnosis. Diagnostic imaging techniques help to investigate about the cause of an injury or illness. Also, it ensures that the diagnosis done is accurate. On the basis of type of modality, diagnostic imaging devices market covers X-ray imaging systems, ultrasound systems, nuclear imaging systems, computed tomography (CT) systems and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The nuclear imaging systems cover Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) systems.

Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood sugar level. It is caused by improper functioning of pancreas that secretes insulin. Insulin is a hormone that maintains the blood sugar level in the body and helps in proper functioning of all cellular and physiological activities. Diabetes is more common in aged population; however incidence for diabetes is also increasing in children and adults. To overcome this problem, insulin delivery devices such as insulin pen, insulin pump and insulin syringes, play a vital role in maintaining insulin level in the body. Insulin pen, syringe and insulin pump are injectable devices which deliver insulin in to the skin through a needle.

Neurology is a study for diseases and disorders involved in nervous systems. It deals with diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as autonomic nerves system (ANS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). A neurostimulation device is an electronic medical device, which delivers mild electronic signals to the epidural space near spine with the help of one or more thin wires. The electronic signal may cause itching sensation in the treated area. A neurostimulation device includes several components such as neurostimulator, leads, physician programmer and patient’s programmer. Neurostimulator generates electrical pulses to the epidural space near the spine.

Ophthalmology is the branch of medicines which deals with anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye. Some of the major eye diseases include haloes, distorted vision, eyelid abnormalities, glaucoma, retinal disease and cataract. The ophthalmology device market is categorized based on various diagnostic and monitoring devices, surgical devices and vision care products. These segments comprise several devices used for treatment of eye diseases.

Pressure relief devices decrease pressures from the human body. Skin and tissues directly compressed between the bone and support surface such as, bed and wheelchair increases pressure on human body. Moreover, skin and tissues are pulled in different direction, which also increases body pressure. To overcome on this problem, some advanced pressure relief devices, such as foam filled mattresses, fibre filled mattresses, gel filled mattresses, air filled mattresses and standard foam mattresses, are designed to decrease pressure from different parts of the body.
