The European market for medical imaging equipment continues to thrive despite the impact
of a global economic recession. As such, the European medical imaging market represents a
dynamic and robust sector which will progressively represent an increasingly important sub-
market within the medical device business. In order to provide a comprehensive and
relevant analysis of the European medical imaging market, this TriMark Publications
report covers the major medical imaging modalities of computed tomography (CT),
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) and ultrasound. In order to reflect the ongoing
shifts in the utilization of the modalities from single to multimodality systems, this study
also includes analyzes of the European markets for PET/CT and SPECT/CT.

While the European medical imaging market is dominated by a handful of multinational
players, this report surveys almost all of the companies known to be marketing,
manufacturing or developing medical imaging equipment and supplies in France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Benelux countries, Scandinavia and the rest of Europe
(ROE). Each company is discussed in extensive depth with a section on its history, product
line, business and marketing analysis, and a subjective commentary of the company’s
market position. Detailed tables and charts with sales forecasts and market data are also
included. To complete the analysis of the European market, this report also reviews other
factors which are instrumental in shaping the future direction of Europe's medical imaging
sector. The study looks at pricing, reimbursement issues, provides an assessment of the
purchasing processes for capital equipment in each target market, and reviews alternative
funding methods for capital equipment purchases and the regulatory environment with its
inherent issues and challenges.
