Follow us on LinkedIn – Nuclear imaging procedures are generally employed to detect cancerous growths, for the prognosis of susceptibility to brain disorders, and for the clinical assessment of cardiac risk. Rising incidences of cardiac arrests and brain disorders, increasing propensity to acquire cancerous growths and ageing population are resulting in heightening health concerns and popularizing preventive medicine among the medical fraternity and patient groups. Consequently, the penetration of gamma scintillation cameras is increasing due to increasing number of periodic diagnostic tests performed. The Gamma/Scintillation Cameras market has been actively contributing to the development of nuclear medicine field and as a result, has accomplished high levels of penetration and sophistication. However, the high penetration levels limit market opportunities to sophisticated upgrades and aftermarket parts, which comprise more than half the equipment market. Additionally, the rising popularity of PET procedures is seemingly threatening the future of the Gamma/Scintillation Cameras in the traditional imaging arena. Innovative applications and advancements in technology are the only routes to drive sales of the new equipment.
