Introduction:

In 2010, the US diagnostic imaging system market-comprising ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine systems-was valued at nearly $4 billion. The economic downturn and uncertainty about health care reform changes were the most prevalent factors limiting this market at the beginning of the forecast period, resulting in significant reductions in unit sales, with the most significant dip in 2009. Unit sales began to recover slowly in 2010; however, average selling price (ASP) declines resulted in further decreases in overall market values. Nonetheless, the finalization of the health care reform, economic improvements, and the loosening of budget restrictions will result in a return to overall market growth in between 2011 and 2012. Growth in the later portion of the forecast period will be driven by increased procedure volumes as health insurance coverage extends to 32 million more US citizens. Significant growth in the ultrasound system market, specifically in compact ultrasound systems, will also drive the overall US diagnostic imaging system market over the forecast period.

Questions Answered in This Report:
  • 2010 has seen the beginning of an economic recovery and the finalization of the new health care reform. How will the recovering economy influence sales in 2010 and over the forecast period? Will market revenues return to their prerecession state over the forecast period? How will the finalization of the health care reform influence spending budgets? How will the changes implemented in the health care reform influence sales over the forecast period?
  • The MRI and CT system markets are operating at undercapacity. These markets are also threatened by further reimbursement cuts. How will the excess capacity of MRI and CT systems influence these markets and the overall US diagnostic imaging system market? How will reimbursement cuts, or the threat of further reimbursement cuts, influence investments into new imaging scanners by imaging facilities?
  • The US ultrasound system market is a large and rapidly growing market, driven predominantly by compact ultrasound systems and their use in emerging segments such as emergency medicine and critical care. To what extent will ultrasound systems penetrate the diagnostic imaging system market? How much will the growth in this market influence the growth of the overall US diagnostic imaging market? Will ultrasound be the fastest-growing segment of the US diagnostic imaging system market? How will growth in the compact ultrasound system segment differ from growth in the cart-based ultrasound system market?
  • In the US, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and obesity are growing trends among the adult population. How will the increasing incidence of these diseases affect procedures and the adoption of different imaging modalities? Which modalities will be driven the most by the increasing incidence of these diseases?
