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 TriMark Publications 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.

The main objectives of this report are to:

• Identify viable technology drivers through a comprehensive look at various platform technologies for ultrasound markets.

• Obtain a complete understanding of the chief ultrasound markets' tests--predictive, screening, prognostic, diagnostic and monitoring--from their basic principles to their applications.

• Discover feasible market opportunities by identifying high-growth applications in different areas, with a focus on the biggest and expanding markets.

• Focus on global industry development through an in-depth analysis of the major world markets for ultrasonography, including forecasts for growth.

• Establish the essentials of the ultrasound market including definitions, processes and trends.

Market figures regarding the current value of the ultrasound market are taken from the most recently available data of the global medical products industry. This report covers the following categories of ultrasonography:

• Prenatal ultrasound.

• Cardiology-imaging ultrasound.

• Handheld ultrasound.

• Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound.

• Four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound.

Analysis includes the use of charts and graphs measuring product growth and trends within the marketplace. In addition, a discussion of research into ultrasonography provides the reader with a deeper understanding of the possibilities for future treatment and avenues for possible R&D budgets. Company-specific information, including sales figures, product pipeline status and R&D trends, is provided throughout the report.
