Summary
Medical imaging has brought about great improvements in the quality of health care. One medical publication asked physicians to rank 30 innovations from the last 25 years in terms of their positive clinical impact on their own patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) imaging were ranked first.
New medical technologies, such as advances in diagnostic imaging, are widely considered a major driver of the rise in healthcare spending in the U.S. One reason is that innovations in medical imaging often translate into safer and less invasive means of treatment. This can greatly increase the number of patients who want to make use of them. Thus, the cost per patient may decrease while volume rises.
This was true of the development of angioplasty. Increased use of angioplasty initially increased total costs, even though it was far less expensive than the alternative, open-heart surgery. Over the long-term, however, this increase may taper off as angioplasty yields long-term benefits among those heart patients who would not have had surgery in the past.
This BCC report shows how a global industry of competitive and visionary firms, ranging from giant market leaders to ambitious startups, has drawn together scientific advances from many fields to deliver a remarkable series of product innovations. It outlines new opportunities in medical imaging and forecasts markets by product category, application, and geographical area through 2009. In addition to medical imaging equipment, markets for auxiliary products are reviewed. Emerging imaging methods that appear promising but have not yet had a major impact on the marketplace are identified.
