Diagnostic imaging systems, which enable clinicians to visualize the anatomic structure and evaluate the functional performance of the body’s internal organs and tissues, are indispensable in the practice of modern medicine.

In the United States, more than 300 million diagnostic imaging procedures—including angiography, conventional X-ray-based imaging, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine imaging, and ultrasound imaging—were performed in 2004.  These procedures generated approximately $7.8 billion in corresponding product sales.  Growing at a steady compound annual rate of 4.1%, sales of these products are expected to reach an estimated $9.5 billion in the year 2009.

This dynamic report from Medtech Insight includes analyses of products, technologies, current and forecast markets, competitors, and opportunities in the U.S. market for diagnostic imaging systems.

Covered topics in this report include angiography-capable X-ray platforms; cerebral angiography, computed tomography systems; conventional X-ray-based imaging systems; coronary angiography, diagnostic imaging procedure volumes, echocardiography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, gamma cameras, general radiography/fluoroscopy systems, hybrid imaging systems, magnetic resonance angiography, magnetic resonance imaging systems; mammography systems, multislice computed tomography, native tissue fluorescence, nuclear medicine imaging systems, optical coherence tomography; peripheral angiography, perfusion computed tomography, positron emission tomography systems, and ultrasound imaging systems.
