Report Highlights

The U.S. emerging diagnostic technologies market was valued at $880 million in 2011 and should reach $1.2 billion in 2012. Total market value is expected to reach $3.2 billion in 2017 after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%.

Report Scope

This report addresses the U.S. market for emerging diagnostic technologies.  Of course, terms such as emerging or new are relative in a rapidly evolving market such as medical diagnostics.  Thus, this report pragmatically defines emerging diagnostic technologies as those that are only in limited commercial use and/or in advanced development as of 2012.  Also included are certain technologies, such as telemedicine, that have been in use for more than a few years, but which have the potential today to cause a fundamental or paradigm shift in the way diagnoses are performed.  The technologies covered fall into the following categories:

• Ultrasound.
• Magnetic resonance imaging.
• Nuclear medicine.
• Computed tomography.
• Photonics, optics and spectroscopy.
• Hybrid imaging technologies.
• Telediagnosis.
• Laboratory information systems.
• Diagnostic decision support systems.
• Imaging agents.
• Terahertz technology.
• Wireless devices.
• Other technologies.

The format of the study includes the following elements:

• Summary.
• Definitions.
• Developments in enabling technologies.
• Key end-user segments.
• Market environment (legal and regulatory, standards, trends in the healthcare industry, demographic and economic trends, other market drivers and barriers to deployment).
• Emerging diagnostic technologies and products.
• Detailed market estimates and projections, by type of diagnostic technology and product, 2011 to 2017.
• Supplier profiles.
• Patent analysis.
