This Frost & Sullivan research service titled European Markets for Computer Aided Detection provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges affecting the industry, factors driving and restraining the growth of the market and opportunities that participants can look forward to during the forecast period, which extends from 2010 to 2017. The research focuses on the European breast, lung and colon computer-aided design (CAD) markets, while discussing newer areas like osteo (bone) CAD and trends in other CAD applications such as prostate and liver CAD.
Market Overview
Expanding Clinical Applications Boost CAD Adoption
The European computer-aided detection (CAD) market is poised for growth, due to the need for digitisation and highly automated integrated workflow. While the widening clinical applications of CAD and the development of multimodal imaging solutions will boost market prospects, large-scale, long-term clinical studies and white papers will be needed to prove CAD’s potency in newer segments. “The commercialisation of investigational CAD applications is leading to newer product offerings,” notes the analyst of this research. “CAD developers are focusing on cardiology and oncology, although neurology and musculoskeletal applications are also being investigated.” In addition to oncology and cardiology, applications in women’s health are being explored. New applications in prostate, liver and bone CAD have become commercially viable.
Hospitals today are transitioning to digitisation. High patient mobility requires easy portability of patient records. Multi-modal imaging solutions like PET/CT, PET/MRI and hybrid modal solutions like SPECT/CCTA have hit the market. “Cumulatively, such trends demand sophisticated and highly automated workflow integration,” explains the analyst. “CAD enables easy workflow integration and digitisation, supporting market growth.”
Pressing Need for Large-Scale, Long-Term Clinical Trials to Establish the Efficacy of CAD
The greatest market challenge is the need for evidentiary support, from large-scale clinical trials, proving the accuracy of CAD solutions. Establishing that CAD solutions reduce the number of false positives in detection of cancerous growth will be critical to continued market expansion. “There is an increasing need for the results of long-term, large-scale clinical trials to be published, proving the efficacy of CAD solutions,” advises the analyst. “Companies should aim at increasing the number of published white papers and articles that actively support the robustness of their CAD products.”
Governmental regulations and ambiguous reimbursement procedures are as potential obstacles to market growth. They are likely to hamper the adoption of newer applications such as lung and colon CAD. “Companies need to invest a great deal of time and money in staying up-to-date with technological improvements, new products, innovative techniques as well as market opportunities and regulatory changes,” concludes the analyst. “Active lobbying and negotiation for introducing a structured and uniform reimbursement pattern for the associated modality will be important.”
