Positron Emission Tomography (PET) MARKET

Propelled by the favorable reimbursement policies, new emerging markets such as Alzheimer’s and continuing expanding oncology application segment, the global PET market is expected to reach around $2.2 billion by 2010. Reimbursement plays a major role in the adoption of any medical imaging technology particularly among the outpatient imaging centers and mobile PET scanners service providers, as the scope of overhead cost spread is not as conveniently as large hospitals.

In 2007 the reimbursement in the U.S. for the PET- CT was around $950 which was increased to $1,057 in 2008. The approval of PET scanning reimbursement in the U.S. by the Medicare and Medicaid for the Alzheimer’s disease widened the opportunities for the major market participants. Currently there are approximately 4.7 million Alzheimer’s patients in the U.S.  PET enables the radiologist to have the early diagnosis of the Alzheimer disease among the patients. Therefore this would further increase the demand of the PET scanners among the various health care centers.

KEY TRENDS

• Favorable reimbursement is boosting the demand of the PET scanners
• Emerging application in Alzheimer’s diagnosis is expected to drive the future market.
• Extended applications in Oncology market
• Technology innovation in PET-CT, SPECT-CT to focus on advanced diagnosis tools
• Wide acceptance of Hybrid technologies such as SPECT-CT
• The dominance of high priced multi-slice PET-CT’s
• Increased demand of SPECT from Non radiologist and Non -nuclear medicine Physicians

Owing to the increased R.O.I. provided by the PET-CT, SPECT, more and more Healthcare providers are expected to invest in Fixed PET-CT scanners in spite of using the services of a mobile PET- CT.
