The market for medical imaging equipment includes X-rays, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, ultrasound imaging systems as well as contrast agents and injectors. The market had experienced a notable slowdown in the recent past during the periods of 2007 to 2009 due to the effects of the deficit reduction act (DRA), as well as from 2008 to 2009 during the global economic recession. The DRA had changed reimbursement for imaging procedures, dampening the demand for new equipment purchases, and the recession saw major declines in hospital budgets and spending. The market has since recovered and will continue growing steadily over the forecast period. Despite declining prices across the board, growth will be driven by the development of new imaging technologies as well as the aging population who typically require an above-average number of imaging procedures.
