Expert Analyst Perspective

Shambhu Nath Jha, Senior Analyst at Fact.MR, stated:
"Non-invasive testing gains clinical value only when it answers a clear diagnostic question and leads to a defined next step. Adoption is expected to favor tests that fit funded care pathways and provide results that doctors can act on without delay. Providers that connect testing with specialist review and follow-up are likely to gain wider use."
