* Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Markets
* Ultrasound Markets

Mammography World Markets

The women's mammography segment is poised for a major new phase of growth
fuelled by the availability of new technology coming out of the computer and
digital areas and the higher interest of individual patients and general
healthcare consumers to take charge of their own health status. Continuous
improvements in technology are resulting in a growing number of new imaging
diagnostic tests that combine high levels of accuracy with rapid, easy-to-use
product formats. Digital mammography is driving more screening programs. The
emphasis in this report is on those companies and products that are actively
developing and marketing clinical laboratory instrumentation and reagents and
supplies for performing diagnostic tests on conditions specifically related to
women's health. This study concentrates on the mammography market segment in
large worldwide markets such as the U.S., Japan and Europe. Certain areas that
are not covered include what is generally characterized as digital imaging
techniques instruments and reagents, PACS or other data storage methods, or
other medical imaging technologies, although many of the instruments, reagents
and techniques in the mammography market segment are intimately associated with
these broader areas. Specialty areas in medical imaging are touched upon, since
these segments are frequently a part of the overall analytical focus of
companies marketing general mammography equipment. However, no effort is made to
quantify the size of this broader market.

Medical Imaging Markets

There will be a steady increase in demand for medical imaging services, along
with pressures to improve the quality of healthcare delivered in the home and to
lower its cost. The medical imaging segments are poised for a major new phase of
growth fuelled by the availability of new technology coming out of the computer
and digital information technology segment, and the higher interest of
individual older baby boom patients and general healthcare consumers to monitor
health status. Continuous improvements in technology are resulting in a growing
number of new imaging tests that combine high levels of accuracy with rapid,
easy-to-use product formats. Digital mammography is driving more screening
programs. The purpose of this report is to describe the specific market segment
of the diagnostics market sector called medical imaging. This sector includes
all of the generally-accepted imaging activities that are currently used today,
including X-ray and radiography, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
ultrasound, gamma camera market, computed tomography (CT) scans and positron
emission tomography (PET) scans. It examines these clinical measurement devices
and their reagents and supplies as used in hospitals, clinics and doctor's
offices. It also includes associated market segments like picture archiving and
communications system (PACS) markets, cardiology imaging markets,
three-dimensional (3D) imaging markets and other emerging technologies.

Nuclear Cardiology Markets

The purpose of this report is to analyze and describe the nuclear cardiology
market segments in the U.S. and worldwide. It examines the measurement devices
that are utilized by physicians to diagnose and monitor heart diseases. This
study also discusses key products in nuclear cardiology and examines the trends
that are stimulating this market. It includes a survey of all major companies
actively engaged in marketing, manufacturing or developing nuclear cardiological
instrumentation, with each company discussed in depth. The main objectives of
this analysis are to: 1) identify viable technology drivers through a
comprehensive look at platform technologies for nuclear cardiology testing; 2)
obtain a complete understanding of the individual nuclear cardiology testing
platforms from their basic principles to their clinical applications; 3)
discover feasible market opportunities by identifying high-growth applications
in different clinical diagnostic areas; 4) focus on global industry developments
through an in-depth analysis of the major world markets for nuclear cardiology
technology, including growth forecasts; and 5) present market figures related to
the current value of nuclear cardiology, market projections, market share, key
players, and sector growth rates.

Ultrasound Markets

During the past 35 years, ultrasound and nuclear medicine were introduced into
clinical medicine, computed tomography (CT) revolutionized diagnostic procedures
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) emerged, bringing new diagnostic
information at the cellular level. X-ray morphed from analog films to digital,
and virtually all medical images became "soft" files on the electronic
superhighway. This report describes the increasingly diversified market segment
of the diagnostics market sector called ultrasonography or, more commonly,
ultrasound. This sector currently includes prenatal ultrasonography, cardiac and
cardiology-imaging ultrasound, and increasingly portable or handheld ultrasound,
which some believe may partly to fully replace the ubiquitous use of
stethoscopes over time. Emerging market segments such as three-dimensional (3D)
and now four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound are also examined.
