New research from Frost & Sullivan shows that single brands dominate medical imaging equipment, including those used in general radiography, ultrasound and capital imaging; picture archiving and communications; and imaging IT hardware/middleware.
The gap in market share between the leading manufacturer and the runner-up, on average, is 15%. Established medical imaging equipment brands account for at least 25% of the market in their respective segments, and leading capital imaging equipment manufacturers top the list with as much as 55 percent of the market share.
The analysis surveyed 152 North American radiology directors, executives, and managers working for hospital-based radiology departments to assess preferences regarding department use of medical imaging equipment and services.
