Abstract Table of Contents Related Reports

Based on interviews with 2,197 locations, the IMV 2008 Nuclear Medicine Market Summary Report extrapolates the research to our identified universe of 7,322 U.S. nuclear medicine sites, profiling major trends in nuclear medicine utilization and purchasing decisions. The report summarizes data collected by IMV from August 2007 through July 2008, covering hospital and non-hospital locations that perform nuclear medicine studies. Trends in procedure volumes by major anatomical category, planar, SPECT, and SPECT/CT camera installed base, features and manufacturers of installed nuclear medicine cameras and computers, equipment buying plans, networking plans, radiopharmaceutical utilization and suppliers, operational budgets and staffing levels are all part of this report.
