Nuclear Cardiology Markets

Nuclear imaging for cardiac diseases helps in accurately diagnosing the disease and blood flow blockages. Gamma cameras and positron emission tomography (PET) scanners are the key imaging devices used for cardiac procedures. Though nuclear imaging in cardiology faces competition from other methods, the impact is relatively limited. Demand for diagnostic medical imaging equipment is mainly driven by the number of diagnostic procedures. The application of PET's clinical use, its combined use with other imaging equipment and the current shift to PET/CT imaging and SPECT/CT imaging are the important factors driving the dramatic rise in procedural volumes. This TriMark Publications study discusses key products in nuclear cardiology and examines the trends that are stimulating this market. This market research report includes a survey of all major companies actively engaged in marketing, manufacturing or developing nuclear cardiological instrumentation, with each company discussed in depth. The primarily focus on three major segments of the nuclear cardiology market: 1) devices, 2) PACS (picture archiving and communications systems) and RIS (radiology information systems) and 3) radiopharmaceuticals. This examination discusses products, trends, new developments and compensation issues that are currently affecting or are likely to affect the nuclear cardiology market soon. Detailed tables and charts with sales forecasts and market share data are also included.
