Based on its recent analysis of the superconductor technology for MRI market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cutting Edge Superconductors, Inc. with the 2013 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation Leadership.
Based on its recent analysis of the wireless capsule endoscopes market, Frost & Sullivan presented Check-Cap Ltd. with the 2013 European Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation Leadership.
The Eurozone economic slowdown has made it difficult for hospitals, particularly in Southern Europe, to procure new imaging modalities. With streamlined budgets and escalating number of medical procedures, the need to spend less on technologies while gaining the maximum benefit from them has sustained demand for high-quality refurbished imaging equipment.
Reporting is one of the areas in medical imaging informatics that has advanced the most in recent years. With much of the imaging workflow now digitized and carried out through second-, if not third-generation image and information management systems such as picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) or radiology information systems (RIS), the ”third pillar” of the end-to-end digital imaging workflow has grown less isolated and more influential than ever before — signaling the advent of true voice-enabled and speech-driven radiology reporting.
August 19, 2013 — Among the U.S. medical imaging equipment surveyed by Frost & Sullivan, including general radiography, ultrasound and capital imaging; picture archiving and communications (PACS); and imaging IT hardware/middleware, the research shows these markets are fairly homogenous as primarily dominated by single brands.
The need to improve the efficiency and quality of X-ray examinations will drive healthcare facilities across Europe to install computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR) systems. The emergence of retrofit systems based on flat panel technology has popularized DR systems, and will sustain investments in the European computed and digital radiography market.
TeraRecon Inc. has received the North American New Product Innovation Award in Medical Imaging Informatics from the respected independent research firm Frost and Sullivan. This award represents the seventh time that TeraRecon Inc. has been recognized with a Best Practices award from Frost and Sullivan, and the third time since 2010, following the European Company of the Year Award in the category of Medical Imaging, Advanced Visualization Applications and the North American Growth Leadership of the Year Award. The full text of the new award can be reviewed on the company's website at www.terarecon.com/fs2012.pdf.
Over the last few years, new legislation mandating the inclusion of breast density findings in results letters sent to women after their mammography exams has begun appearing in a growing number of states. With three states having already enacted such laws, 17 states working on similar legislation and a federal bill recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, Frost & Sullivan expects widespread breast density reporting laws to have a significant impact on the demand for and utilization of various breast screening technologies.
August 14, 2012 — The next five years will see many hospitals in Europe overcoming the high cost and complexity of implementing hybrid operating rooms (OR) by adopting better planning and budget allocation. This will encourage hospitals with larger cardiac and neurosurgery services to implement at least one hybrid OR, suggests new analysis from Frost & Sullivan.
July 17, 2012 — New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, “European Data Storage Market in Healthcare,” finds that the market earned revenues of $1,011.4 million in 2010 and estimates this to reach $2,473 million in 2017. The research covers hospital IT, research and imaging segments.
