Assessment of Installed x-Ray units, The Future of Computer Radiography (CR) and Direct Radiography (DR). European Market for RIS and PACS Solutions
HBS Consulting, Aug 2004
This extensive report examines the reality of about 850 hospitals and practices in 8 European countries and provides you with following information:
Subjects Installed x-Ray bases
· Number of installed x-ray units per manufacturer, age and medical speciality
· Future investment plans for x-ray units per medical division (number, approximately time of installation, budget, planned RIS/PACS integration)
· Number of the accomplished radio-graphic procedures and trends, by medical speciality
· Factors that affect the decision to invest into xray units by end-users
· Factors that affect the choice of manufacturers
· How are investments into x-ray units financed?
· Need of 'Direct Radiography'
Subjects: Installed RIS/PACS solutions
· Number of installed PACS solutions (manufacturer, age, by medical speciality)
· Number of integrated RIS system (manufacturer, age by medical speciality)
· Future investment plans for RIS/PACS solutions per medical division (yes or No)
· Preferences on supplier
· Preferences regarding RIS/PACS (independent
RIS and PACS, integrating RIS/PACS, why which possibility preferred?)

Report Methodology:
For the purpose of this report, we conducted secondary research on following topics:
· Number of hospitals,
· Number of radiography departments,
· Number of radiography procedures,
· Number of radiographic installations,
· Number of partial radiologists
· Regional healthcare legislation influencing the market
The secondary data forms the basis for the quantification of the business opportunities. The main source of information for both, quantitative as well as qualitative statements is primary research in the form of telephone interviews conducted with a sample of centres of installation.
The primary research supplied data on following topics:
· Number of current installations by application and type of imaging system
· Manufacturer, age, perceived life-span and time-to-replacement of existing equipment
· Utilisation of equipment (i.e. number of examinations and procedures performed by medical application)
· Planned timing of investments in new radiography equipment
· Planned type of equipment and imaging system under consideration of trends in radiographic procedures by speciality and preferences of CR compared to DR
· Factors influencing investment decisions
· Purchasing aspects (e.g. tender, rent/lease purchase, used equipment, etc.)
Sample Composition, All Countries
Germ. UK France Italy Spain Be/NL Poland CZ/SL
The number of hospital interviews satisfies the criteria of statistical relevance in Germany, the UK, Italy, and Spain, and to a limited extent in France and Poland.
The samples in Belgium and the Netherlands, the Czech and Slovak Republic and those for partial radiologists and imaging centres are not statistically relevant, but are a sufficient number to draw indicative and relevant conclusions.
In order to maximise the available quantitative input, potential respondents were evaluated for the availability of RX equipment.
We have analysed the obtained data by means of statistical software (SPSS) and Excel spreadsheets.
The report answers following questions:
- number of current installed x-ray units (per type of equipment, manufacturers, age)
- number of installed RIS / PACS solutions (manufacturer, age, by medical speciality)
- future investment plans for x-ray units and RIS / PACS per medical division (number, approximately time of installation, budget, planned RIS / PACS integration,)
- preferences regarding RIS/PACS (independent RIS and PACS, integrating RIS/PACS, why which possibility preferred?)
- number of the accomplished radio-graphic procedures and trends, by medical speciality (general radiography/thoraxes & bone, Orthopaedics, R&F Examinations of the Gastrointestinal Tract / Urography, mammography Screening (precaution), mammography diagnosis, a&e admission, x-ray investigations on the ICU, x-ray investigations in the OR)
- what affects the decision to invest into x-ray units?
- what factors affect the choice of manufacturers?
- on what basis are purchase decisions made?
- how are investments into x-ray units financed?
- need of 'Direct Radiography'
