Allegheny General Hospital opens new, $100 million imaging center
Allegheny General Hospital has opened a new diagnostic imaging center, the product of a $100 million renovation. Allegheny Health Network says the 50,000-square-foot facility's purpose was to improve patient experiences and give greater access to imaging services with advanced technology. AGH provides imaging services to thousands of patients annually, according to AHN. Dr. Jeffrey Mueller, interim chair of the AHN Imaging Institute and division director of cardiothoracic imaging, says the new center will ensure patients continue to receive the highest quality services. 'From rapidly diagnosing stroke, to precisely planning cancer treatment, to confirming the presence or progression of cardiovascular disease, and countless other applications, imaging and radiology services are fundamental to exceptional patient care,' Mueller said. 'This amazing new facility, equipped with the most sophisticated technologies available, allows our clinicians to make more informed decisions quickly, leading to earlier and more effective treatments and ultimately, better outcomes for our patients.' The center features dedicated suites with advanced capabilities in X-ray, general and vascular ultrasound, interventional radiology, CT, MRI, PET/CT and more, AHN says. AGH is the second hospital in Western Pennsylvania and the only adult facility to offer NAEOTOM Alpha CT, which provides for more accurate diagnoses, AHN says. Over the past several years, AHN and Highmark Health have reportedly invested more than $400 million to enhance the AHN Imaging Institute. AHN Allegheny Valley Hospital completed a $12 million renovation of its imaging and radiology department, and AHN Jefferson Hospital completed a $4.6 million renovation and expansion of its Breast Center and Outpatient Imaging Center. AHN says it is the only health system to achieve Diagnostic Imaging Centers of Excellence among adult imaging centers throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Delaware.

Medical Imaging Devices Market Study 2025-2030: Personalized Medicine and AI Integration Transforming Medical Imaging Landscape
Medical Imaging Devices Market Dublin, March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Medical Imaging Devices - A Global Market Overview" report has been added to global Medical Imaging Devices market is estimated at US$43.7 billion in 2024 and projected to post a CAGR of 5.7% between 2024 and 2030 to reach US$61 billion in 2030. The growth of the Medical Imaging Devices market is driven by advancements in technology and the rising need for early diagnosis and effective management of chronic diseases. Increased healthcare spending, combined with advancements in imaging technologies such as AI integration, hybrid imaging, and portable devices, is fueling market growth. An increasing occurrence of chronic diseases like cancer, cardiovascular issues, and neurological disorders requires more frequent imaging tests, resulting in a greater demand for diagnostic tools. Furthermore, the aging population, which often needs ongoing medical imaging to monitor health conditions, also plays a significant role in the market's growth. Innovations in imaging methods like 3D and 4D imaging and AI-supported technologies enhance diagnostic precision and shorten turnaround times. In addition, the rising emphasis on personalized medicine and the incorporation of medical imaging with electronic health records (EHRs) improve patient care. Developments such as mobile imaging units, wearable technology, and AI-driven systems are enhancing accessibility and affordability, making medical imaging more user-friendly. Partnerships between healthcare providers and technology developers, coupled with increasing investments in research and development, are expected to drive further growth in the medical imaging Market AnalysisNorth American Medical Imaging Devices market dominates the global market with an estimated share of 36.5% in 2024 due to factors such as greater use in primary care, substantial healthcare expenditure, and effective reimbursement policies. The increasing incidence of chronic conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders, drives the need for imaging technologies. Ongoing technological innovations, along with a significant elderly population, are projected to maintain North America's dominance in the market. In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth rate, with a CAGR of 6.9% throughout the forecast period 2024-2030, fueled by population growth, growing chronic disease rates, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure. This region benefits from advantageous reimbursement policies, a growing elderly demographic, and the development of diagnostic centers. Furthermore, the rise in domestic manufacturing and increased healthcare expenditure in emerging markets like China and India is further enhancing the demand for Medical Imaging Analysis by ProductBased on product, the Medical Imaging Devices market is segmented into X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear imaging, and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS). Among them, the X-ray segment accounted for the largest market share of 28.9% in 2024, propelled by its extensive application in image-guided surgical procedures, particularly in interventional X-ray systems such as C-arms. Developments in mini C-arms, digital radiography, and flat panel detectors have further increased demand. X-ray technology is available even in rural locations and plays a critical role in diagnosing injuries and formulating treatment strategies. Conversely, the ultrasound segment is projected to record the fastest growth at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030, supported by its increasing applications in gynecology, cardiology, and abdominal conditions. Advances in technology and the rising demand for early detection of chronic illnesses, including those related to the heart and breast, are fueling the swift growth of this Analysis by ApplicationBased on application, the market is segmented into orthopedics, oncology, cardiology, neurology, obstetrics/gynecology, gastroenterology, and other applications. In 2024, the orthopedics segment led the application market, capturing a 27% share, fueled by the increasing prevalence of trauma, sports-related injuries, and orthopedic conditions, especially in older adults. Progress in medical imaging technologies, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds, has enhanced the accuracy of diagnoses and treatment planning for ailments like arthritis, osteoporosis, and fractures. The demand for orthopedic imaging has also surged due to the growing trend of minimally invasive procedures and joint replacement surgeries. On the other hand, the oncology segment is expected to witness rapid growth with a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period 2024-2030 due to the rising global cancer rates and an increased emphasis on early detection.
