Abstract

Based on interviews with 2,300 locations, this report extrapolates the data to our identified universe of 7,323 U.S. sites, profiling major trends in nuclear medicine utilization and purchasing decisions. This report summarizes data from a census conducted by IMV from January 2007 through July 2007, covering the nation’s hospitals and non-hospitals that perform nuclear medicine procedures. The report covers national trends in procedure volumes by major anatomical category, planar and SPECT camera installed base, features and manufacturers of installed nuclear medicine cameras and computers, equipment buying plans, networking plans, radiopharmaceutical and pharmacological stress agent utilization and suppliers, operational budgets and staffing levels.
