Singapore 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 Singapore 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 Singapore 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 Singapore Diagnose Meningitis
The Singapore 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.
