The 'Emerging Technologies in Cardiovascular Diagnostic Imaging: The Future of Cardiac MRI and Echocardiography' analysis provides essential information on the cardiovascular diagnostic imaging market in the US and the main five countries of Europe for the years 2000-2006. The analysis is comprised of market share, volume, and value data as well as various sections focusing on breakthrough technologies in the field as they impact the market. The report believes the best manner in which to present the information for this analysis is to include data on both cardiovascular contrast agents and cardiovascular imaging systems for two of the fastest growing areas of this market - magnetic resonance imaging and cardiovascular ultrasound (echocardiography). Forecast data for market performance are presented for both the contrast agent markets and for the imaging system markets. The recent trend of increased use of contrast agents in cardiovascular diagnostic imaging and the new technologies emerging for imaging systems are having tremendous impacts on the market. The implications of these changes are contingent upon many factors which are discussed in detail within this analysis.
