The authors of a new analysis of the world market for ultrasound systems forecast that the sector will continue to grow until the year 2018.

Increasing awareness of the harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation of X-Ray and Computed Tomography (CT), and the high cost of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), continues to fuel the use of ultrasound. The increasing use of small, affordable, portable and handheld ultrasound systems in clinical settings is also helping drive the growth of the diagnostic ultrasound market by creating new point-of-care applications which traditional large and expensive ultrasound systems could not address.

The report, entitled “Ultrasound: World Market Analysis,” is available from Reportbuyer (London, UK), a leading industry intelligence provider of market research reports. The report covers the world, European, US, Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC), and Japanese markets.

The use of ultrasound for breast health, and cardiology, and new compact mobile systems capable of 3-D imaging to aid complex surgical applications and interventional procedures is also influencing market growth. The traditional obstetrics ultrasound market is also expected to continue to grow.

The report describes the direction of ultrasound research, market trends, and issues that manufacturers and vendors face. The market forecast was based on the analysis of current market conditions, and future innovation trends. The report can be accessed online (Please see Related Links below).
