Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/26/2014 --The global small animal imaging market that was valued at US$1.49 billion in the year 2013, is expected to reach US$2.74 billion by the year 2020, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% between the years 2014 and 2020. The global small animal imaging market basically supports the area of preclinical research, gene expression studies, and drug development with regard to preclinical imaging of rabbits, and rodents like mice, and rats. The features of the small animal imaging devices is quite similar to diagnostic devices that are used for diagnostics in human beings; the only area of difference being the size.

The small animal imaging devices commonly known as micro devices are comparatively smaller in size than the diagnostic devices used for humans. Micro-SPECT and micro MRI are the two most commonly used imaging devices in the global small animal imaging market. Useful information for understanding the working of pharmaceutical compounds in phase I and the preclinical stages is provided by molecular, pre-imaging, functional, and anatomical analyses. Apart from providing a foundation for further research, pre-imaging helps in the toxicity and safety analysis as well.
