Abstract
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is not a new imaging modality-having
been around since the 1950s-but its application areas have just recently begun
to expand tremendously. These new clinical applications, along with
technological innovations in portability and resolution and a very favorable
risk profile, have made ultrasound equipment a very robust market sector. This
third volume in Kalorama' s ongoing series on medical imaging examines the
market for ultrasound equipment worldwide, reviewing the drivers and
restraints, the established and emerging application areas, and new
technological advances, and providing key market data, including:
- Revenue forecasts through 2010 by geographic region
- Market share of leading competitors
- Installed base by region
- Imaging procedure forecasts
The report also profiles several companies involved in developing and
marketing ultrasound systems and components; they include Aloka, Analogic,
Esaote, GE Healthcare, Hitachi Medical Systems, Siemens, SonoSite, and
Toshiba, among others.
