Abstract:



Three-Dimensional Imaging Moves From The Drawing Board To The Clinic


The market for 3-D imaging technologies used in medical applications has

clearly passed from the research stage to product development and clinical

application. The implementation of new, PC-based technologies and an

increase in clinical applicability will drive impressive growth in this burgeoning

field. As awareness of 3-D technologies continues to expand over the forecast

period, revenues are expected to rise exponentially.


This Frost &Sullivan report analyzes the markets for 3-D, CT, MR, and angiography equipment and ultrasound-based technologies. It highlights key market

drivers and restraints, recommends effective strategies, and provides expert

forecasts. With such a privileged view of the marketplace, your company will

be poised to capitalize on a very promising field.


Meeting Reimbursement Challenges Will Define Market Leader


The falling level of medical reimbursements has emerged as the primary challenge facing healthcare technologies during the last decade, writes the

report 's analyst. Imaging has been strongly affected by low reimbursement levels because of the high capital expenses associated with imaging technologies.

Three-dimensional imaging poses an even greater dilemma in terms of reimbursement, warns the analyst. Although prices for 3-D have generally

decreased, insurers still perceive the technology as having relatively low clinical utility. A CPT code does exist to cover some types of 3-D imaging, but it

still excludes a number of procedures. This report identifies key industry challenges and assesses their impact on the marketplace, helping your company

anticipate and overtake potential hurdles.


Shift to PC-Based Platforms Could Reduce Imaging Costs


The most significant technology trend is the shift of 3-D imaging workstations from UNIX to PC-based (NT) platforms, writes the analyst. While

UNIX systems provided the speed and computer power needed for the complex computing required for 3-D imaging, those systems were cost prohibitive.

PC workstations, however, have become faster, more powerful, and less expensive, offering a viable alternative for 3-D imaging.


The development of PC-based imaging systems has accounted for much of

the shift from the research sector to the clinical sector, says the analyst. In

addition to cost benefits, the move to PC-based systems could ease the learning curves typically associated with operating 3-D imaging. This study, which

monitors market and technology trends, will help your company chart the

best course for the future of the industry.
