Abstract:


MRI Pushes its Limits in Field Strength, Openness and Price Implementation

Challenge

Identification

High field strength is crucial for obtaining the best quality MRI image. More

and more, applications in the industry are calling for higher resolution images

that require higher field strengths. MRI systems with stronger imaging power

are now being purchased at a much higher rate than in the past. The advent of

the 3T systems, which are very high-field systems used in neurology and psychiatry,

characterizes the trend and need for highest field strength.


However, as imaging techniques improve, even lower field systems perform

with a quality level that would have been impossible only a few years ago. For

applications that can be performed with lower field strength, other key factors

such as openness and price become most important. The economical MRI systems

represent a fundamental approach to meeting customer demands.


Customers tend to purchase equipment that either has the highest field

strength or the lowest cost, instead of opting for a mid-range system. The

improvements in imaging and different field strengths are allowing the development

of new applications for either highest quality or lowest price. This, in

turn, is improving market penetration for MRI equipment, especially in the

clinical segment where both types of systems can find several applications.


Customer Satisfaction Crucial for Survival


Increasing scanning comfort increases the application penetration or utilization,

states the author of the report. For example, minimally invasive MRI

will not penetrate the market at its fullest potential if surgeons have to per-form

the surgery while squeezed in a tight place and wearing ear plugs to

tolerate the noise of the MRI system.


Patient comfort is a driving factor that has become the source of many technical

advances in the past few years. The success of the open MRI, which many

patients prefer, has proved customer satisfaction is becoming crucial for success.

It can be expected that in areas where MRI scanning service providers

are saturated, comfort will be a differentiator, says the author. Also, com-fort-

enhancing accessories have the potential to increase applications, and

therefore, to increase market potential.


Aspects such as comfort and price become equally important as the market

moves into the clinical field. It is crucial that end-user and patient needs are

incorporated in MRI systems in order for MRI to grow to its market potential.

This Frost & Sullivan report offers an in-depth analysis of the MRI equipment

market in the United States. It evaluates the trends and challenges facing the

industry and offers exceptional market intelligence that can help your company

strategize a plan that will push your company to the top of the market.
