Relentless endeavors towards the development of newer radiopharmaceuticals, sophistication of product technologies, industry focus towards creation of integrated products continue to drive sales in the Gamma/Scintillation Cameras and Accessories market in forthcoming years. By the year 2010, world market for Gamma/Scintillation Cameras and Accessories is projected to exceed $913 million.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- The market for nuclear medicine equipment is vibrant and is continually fueled by innovation, resulting in frequent product launches that dynamically alter the marketing landscape. Positron Emission Tomography is the success story of nuclear medicine, flooding the markets with PET or PET enabled/co-incidence equipped scintillation cameras. Increasing popularity of PET procedures is expected to hurt sales of conventional Gamma/Scintillation Cameras in the coming years.

United States is by far, the largest market for Gamma/Scintillation Cameras & Accessories, as stated by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. In 2007, United States accounted for about 57% of the global Gamma/Scintillation Cameras & Accessories market. Latin America and Asia-Pacific represent the fastest growing markets over the period 2000-2010 with CAGRs between 3%-3.5% for the period 2000-2010. Europe represents the second largest market, next to the United States. Among the segments analyzed, Nuclear Medicine Patient Tables market in the region is projected to reach $10.6 million by the year 2010.

Industry-wide urge to curtail inconveniences and to enhance precision performance levels drive manufacturers to devise fusion imaging technologies and multi-purpose systems capable of faster and reliable diagnostic performances, causing minimal discomfort to patients. Simplification, enhanced system integration and advanced software setups offering more control over the results, are making headway into the design of the gamma/scintillation imaging systems. Globally, Gamma Camera sales are projected to trim down to $435 million by 2010, due to reimbursement issues and competition from other imaging modalities.

Leading players profiled in the report include Philips Medical Systems, Siemens Medical Solutions, GE Healthcare, Digirad Corporation, and Gamma Medica-Ideas.
