In the realm of neurological diagnostics, transcranial doppler stands out as a leading technology, offering non-invasive diagnostic techniques for conditions like cerebral circulatory arrest and sickle cell disorders. This diagnostic procedure allows for the assessment of the direction of blood flow transracially, providing valuable insights into cranial health. With its ability to examine blood flow within the cranium, the transcranial Doppler represents a crucial tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of various neurological conditions. There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The growing use of transcranial doppler systems in detecting sickle cell disease is notably driving the market growth. Children with SCD are at an increased risk of stroke and intracranial stenosis, which can be detected with transcranial doppler systems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also states that the medical expenditure spent on children with this disease amounts to an average of USD 11,702 with Medicaid coverage and USD 14,772 with employer-sponsored insurance. The Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia (STOP), a randomized trial, was a significant advancement in screening for complications of SCD, as demonstrated by transcranial ultrasonography systems.
Further, based on the results of this trial, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute issues a clinical alert recommending transcranial doppler screening of children with SCD to prevent stroke. The transcranial doppler systems evaluate the cerebral vasculature and help in predicting the proximate cause of intracranial vasculopathy or SCD, thus resulting in their increased adoption. Such factors will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The emergence of intraoperative transcranial doppler monitoring is an emerging trend shaping market growth. Transcranial doppler ultrasonography is a diagnostic tool that is gaining prominence in the fields of neurology and neurosurgery. Further, the timely detection of vasospasm, hypoperfusion, cerebral microembolisms, and cerebral hyperfusion helps minimize postoperative neurologic complications such as cognitive dysfunction. For instance, Digi-Lite provides reliable, non-invasive, and complete transcranial doppler solutions for the assessment of blood flow velocities in the brain.
In addition, the device features an intraoperative 16MHz probe for the accurate detection of blood vessels during neurosurgical procedures. It is lightweight, portable, easy to operate, and features fast patient data export. The availability of such transcranial doppler systems will increase the demand for and adoption of intraoperative transcranial monitoring, thus driving market growth during the forecast period.
The lack of skilled technicians to handle and operate transcranial doppler systems is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The market is affected by the lack of skilled neurologists. Technical expertise and skill are required to operate transcranial doppler ultrasound systems, record data, and guide the surgeon during surgery. Additionally, the technician should have good anatomical knowledge to guide the surgeon during surgery. The transcranial doppler ultrasound procedure is operator-dependent and uses a handheld, microprocessor-controlled, low-frequency transducer.
Further, the neurologist should be certified in neurosonology by organizations such as the American Society of Neuroimaging. Therefore, trained and experienced neurologists are required for such systems; their shortage limits the growth of the market during the forecast period.
