Emerging Technology Developments in Fusion Technology for Diagnostic Imaging

press@researchandmarkets.com — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 11:17:27 GMT

Encouraging Reimbursement Drives Investment in Fusion Technology
Fusion technology has tremendous potential in diagnostic imaging to detect numerous conditions such as tumors, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and neural disorders. Interest in this technology is increasing, and additional reimbursements and clinical validation are likely to induce more healthcare providers to invest in combined scanners. Encouragingly, single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) combined procedures can potentially attract as high reimbursement levels as those for positron emission tomography (PET). This is leading radiopharmaceuticals manufacturers to enhance promotional efforts and expand training programs to include fusion imaging. Since SPECT is primarily based on radiopharmaceuticals such as technetium - that have comparatively slow decay rates compared with flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) - the logistics of handling SPECT agents becomes much simpler. Moreover, applications in cardiology are likely to provide enough patient referrals to justify healthcare providers’ investment in fusion technology.
This Technical Insights research service provides a comprehensive overview of advances in fusion technology in medical diagnostics, focusing on the most promising areas and technologies. It provides detailed coverage of key participants and their research developments. The study distinguishes itself by focusing on user concerns and examining the practical applications of key emerging technologies.

Increasing Trend toward Multidetectors and Thinner Image Slices in CT
Multidetectors are taking imaging capabilities to the next level, shortening the time it takes to perform a CT scan and offering enhanced image outputs that enable more efficient disease diagnosis and characterization. There is also a growing trend toward utilizing information from thinner rather than thicker slices of images. The shift toward multidetectors and thinner slices not only p

Strategic Analysis of Global Gamma Camera Markets

press@researchandmarkets.com — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 11:16:07 GMT

Nuclear gamma cameras are a very important imaging modality for molecular imaging and their strength lies mainly in the large global installed base and the availability of longer half-life radioisotopes such as Technetium-99m (with a half-life of 6 hours). However, robust market growth is expected to depend on the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic imaging agents. In the face of increasing competition for budget/resources from positron emission tomography (PET), new imaging agents can create fresh clinical applications for gamma cameras and help expand the market.

U.S. 3D Imaging Markets

press@researchandmarkets.com — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 14:42:48 GMT

Technological Advancements Open a Floodgate of Opportunities

Groundbreaking technologies that increase workflow efficiencies and quality of patient care are driving the growth of the U.S. 3D imaging market. The ability of multi-slice scanners and transducer technology to generate large volume data sets as well as shorter product life cycles is increasing the demand for multi-modality 3D workstations and software applications. The rapid strides toward development of clinically proven applications such as virtual colonoscopy in gastroenterology and other promising applications in cardiology are encouraging market recognition, thereby improving reimbursement rates.

This Frost & Sullivan research examines the U.S. 3D imaging markets and the use of 3D imaging technologies with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, and ultrasound modalities. The report also provides a holistic view of market growth patterns and strategic recommendations to counter challenges.

Integrated Solutions and Innovations in Peripheral Markets Drive Expansion

Manufacturers are offering integrated, bundled solutions as there is a growing need to combine networks of healthcare information systems. According to the analyst, Feature rich, 3D workstations are providing cost-effective alternatives to integrate and upgrade existing workstations. Special financing arrangements are also lowering the cost of ownership of 3D imaging products.

The aging population and patients willingness to pay out-of-pocket when insurance claims are not possible, are allowing radiologists, already few in number, to become more proficient with 3D procedures. 3D software applications can now be installed and run on high-end personal computers while providing applications such as real-time volume rendering and automated flight path generation. The analyst adds, Technological enhancements in peripheral markets as well as innovations such as Computer Aided Detection (CAD) will boost demand for 3D work

U.S. PET and PET-CT Markets

press@researchandmarkets.com — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 14:42:48 GMT

Superior Technology and Significant Clinical Benefits Drive PET-CT Adoption

There has been a move away from stand-alone positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to PET-computed tomography (CT) as the latter is proving to be an advantageous investment due to increased capabilities. Such dual modality scanners are now being purchased jointly by radiology and nuclear medicine departments. PET-CT’s superior imaging technology enables detection of cancers, such as ovarian, cervical, colorectal, and abdominal/pelvic regions, that are usually difficult to localize due to the dense structure of the surrounding anatomy. Better quality imaging also allows for effective surgical and therapy planning, facilitating increased treatment options for patients.

This insight into the U.S. PET and PET-CT markets is based on market size in units, revenue, installed base, and average prices. The study focuses on important end-user segments - major academic hospitals, community hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and oncology centers. The research service also includes primary market drivers and restraints. It provides in-depth information on distribution channels, current and projected aggregate market size, growth rates, and market competitors.

Enhanced Capabilities of PET-CT Extend toward Disease Management

Besides its rapid penetration in the diagnostic arena, PET-CT is also building inroads into the therapeutic aspect of disease management such as treatment planning. This flexibility is expected to strengthen PET-CT sales in segments such as oncology. The ability to clearly localize a tumor or its spread allows physicians to understand exactly where the tumor is as well as where radiology is required in relation to other critical anatomical structures, says the analyst of this research. This ability is useful during the planning stage for certain types of cancers, enabling precise targeting of radiological and surgical treatments, while sparing healthy tissues and min
