Kalorama information (New York, NY, USA) reports continued growth for the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) market.

According to the report, Medical Imaging Markets the MRI market has grown 4% while world market revenues in the sector reached USD 5.1 billion in 2013. The report also includes a review of current and future international markets for Computer Tomography (CT), ultrasound, X-ray, fluoroscopy, mammography, PET/SPECT, and fusion systems. The report notes that medical imaging has led to improved diagnosis and treatment for all age groups.

Joseph A. Constance, the author of the report, stated, "An important market development in MRI has been the use of higher Tesla scanners. Such systems are increasingly used in clinical pediatrics, due to their superior resolution." These high-resolution MRI slices and cross-sections can be transformed into 3-D images using computerized analysis for improved diagnostic and treatment of diseases such as cancer.

The Kalorama report covers the Japanese, BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), European, US, and other world market segments and forecasts growth to continue until 2018. The report also covers issues that vendors and manufacturers face, as well as market and research trends. The report provides profiles of companies developing and marketing imaging systems–from small firms in niche markets to the major player in the market.
