The Europe radiology services market is experiencing accelerated growth, driven by rising demand for advanced diagnostic imaging and increased emphasis on early disease detection and preventive care. A key driver is the growing burden of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and neurological disorders, prompting healthcare providers to adopt cutting-edge radiological modalities for accurate and timely diagnosis.

In May 2024, GE HealthCare announced Revolution RT, a new radiation therapy computed tomography (CT) solution with innovative hardware and software solutions to help increase imaging accuracy, while simplifying simulation workflow for a more personalized and seamless oncology care pathway experience for clinicians and patients. The new Revolution RT was unveiled at the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) 2024 Congress in Glasgow, along with an updated and artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced version of the Intelligent Radiation Therapy (iRT) platform, which interfaces with the Spectronic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Planner. Additionally, the company will showcase the newly acquired MIM Software portfolio, as well as other key innovations from GE HealthCare. 

Additionally, favorable government initiatives across Europe—such as the EU4Health program and national investments in healthcare digitization—are supporting the modernization of radiology infrastructure. Public and private partnerships are also expanding access to imaging services in underserved regions. The rising adoption of teleradiology and AI-driven interpretation tools is further enhancing the efficiency and reach of radiology services, especially in remote and rural settings.

With the healthcare sector increasingly focused on personalized medicine and value-based care, radiology is emerging as a cornerstone of clinical decision-making. As the demand for non-invasive, real-time imaging continues to grow, the Europe radiology services market is poised for sustained expansion, underpinned by technological advancements, strategic collaborations, and evolving healthcare delivery models.

Teleradiology is gaining traction in Europe due to growing demand for round-the-clock radiology services, shortage of radiologists, and the need to serve remote areas. Cloud-based platforms and secure digital infrastructure are enabling seamless image sharing and remote consultations, improving accessibility and efficiency.

In June 2024, Philips expanded its cloud-based imaging solution, IntelliSpace Radiology, by integrating it with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This enhancement introduced new remote reading and AI capabilities, aiming to improve patient care by facilitating more efficient and accessible radiological services.

Radiology is playing a pivotal role in the shift toward personalized medicine, where imaging data is used to tailor treatments to individual patients. There is also growing use of radiological screening programs for the early detection of diseases like cancer and cardiovascular conditions.

In October 2024, GE HealthCare and University Medicine Essen inaugurated a Theranostics Center of Excellence in Germany. This center focuses on combining diagnostic imaging with targeted therapies, particularly for cancer patients. It utilizes advanced PET/CT technologies and AI-driven tools to personalize treatment plans, aiming to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Hybrid imaging, particularly the integration of PET with MRI or CT, is gaining traction for complex disease diagnostics such as oncology and neurology. These technologies offer higher anatomical and molecular resolution, enabling early disease detection and personalized treatment planning. The demand for hybrid modalities is further supported by Europe’s focus on value-based healthcare and precision medicine.

An article on MDPI published in July 2023 reflects on the efficacy of hybrid PET/MRI in diagnosing cerebral gliomas. The research highlighted that combining PET and MRI modalities enhances diagnostic accuracy, particularly in assessing tumor heterogeneity and guiding treatment strategies for glioma patients.

Preventive healthcare initiatives such as routine breast, lung, and colon cancer screening programs across Europe are generating new opportunities for radiology service providers. These initiatives are leading to a rise in imaging volumes and the need for specialized radiology professionals, equipment, and IT infrastructure.

In May 2025, the U.K.'s NHS began rolling out liquid biopsy tests capable of detecting cancer up to a year before traditional scans. These tests identify circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood, offering a non-invasive alternative for early cancer detection, particularly for advanced breast cancer and suspected non-small cell lung cancer cases. The initiative aims to improve access to personalized treatments and reduce unnecessary procedures.

“The Europe radiology services market is entering a transformative growth phase, driven by the rising demand for early disease detection, the adoption of AI-powered imaging technologies, and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases,” notes Ms. Komal Dighe, a Management Consultant. “The sector is increasingly seen as a critical pillar in personalized and preventive healthcare strategies across the continent.”

“Technological innovation is central to this growth story. Cloud-based radiology platforms, hybrid imaging systems like PET/MRI, and AI-enhanced diagnostics are not only improving clinical accuracy but also enabling faster, more cost-effective workflows. These advancements are particularly beneficial in high-volume settings such as hospitals and teleradiology networks, where efficiency is crucial.”

“Preventive screening programs, backed by EU-wide initiatives and national health policies, are expanding the role of radiology in public health. Investments in cancer screening infrastructure—such as low-dose CT for lung cancer and AI-assisted mammography—are contributing to a surge in imaging volumes and driving demand for trained radiology professionals.”

“While the high cost of equipment and shortage of skilled radiologists remain notable challenges, increasing public-private partnerships and digital transformation initiatives are working to bridge these gaps. The integration of radiology with data-driven precision medicine platforms will be a major catalyst in the years ahead.”

“Looking forward, the convergence of AI, big data, and cloud computing with advanced imaging modalities will redefine the future of diagnostics in Europe. Strategic collaborations between med-tech firms, academic institutions, and healthcare providers will further accelerate innovation, positioning the Europe radiology services market for sustained double-digit growth through 2032.”
