Overall Market of Radiology

83 conferences were held internationally in the year 2015 and the number is going up. The Expected scenario of Radiology is also going up owing to the analytical surveys reported.

The wanton for radiological higher studies is also high. The number of expected radiological specialists is increasing owing to the low risk factored options laid out by Interventional Radiology. Numbers from the American College of Radiology suggests, there were about 1,100 fellows competing for approximately 1,115 open positions in 2014. This suggests the huge scope of Radiology and its wide Research arenas.

There are approximately 1,900 radiology groups today, down from approximately 2,100 just three years ago. Though the statistics may seem to be fluctuating the actual figurines have somewhat different conclusions. Groups merging and hence enhancing their diversity are an excellent indication of Globalization. This improves research scope and opens doors to a huge potential market.

The numbers in global trends are seemingly on the rise. The global radiology information systems market is expected to reach $722.1 million by 2019 from $501.1 million in 2014, at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2014 to 2019. The global digital radiology market was estimated at $9.7 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach $13.3 billion by 2018, growing at CAGR of 5.4%.

If we look at the demographics, by 2030, it's estimated that 40% of the population will have some type of cardiovascular disease, 8 million more people will have coronary heart disease, and 4 million more will have strokes. Radiology will play a big role in the management of those diseases. Reimbursement per study will probably go down, but in some ways that's a good thing. Specifically, the value of imaging is clearly there, it has to be made more affordable if contribution to patient care should be continued

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been one of the more frequently used medical imaging modalities – about 30 million MRI scans are estimated to be performed annually. MRI use in chest, vascular, breast and cardiac imaging procedures has been increasing,” according to Kalorama Information. The information provided by Reports n Reports forecasts growth in the MRI market to approach $5.25 billion by 2018. The current magnetic resonance imaging industry is producing over 2,000 units per year. The global market for these systems values $4.13 billion, as of the first quarter of 2013, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.56 percent reaching approximately around $5.24 billion by 2018,” according to a summary of the report.

“As of March 2013, North America dominates the market with nearly 40 percent share, followed by Europe due to technological developments for effective diagnostics and rapidly aging population. However, Asia is slated to grow at a high CAGR of 5.2 percent over the analysis period. Improved spending capability and physicians inclination towards MR imaging over other conventional medical imaging modalities is fuelling demand for MRI across this region.  Asia holds enormous growth potential, particularly from countries with large population base such as China and India. The demand is anticipated primarily from private hospitals compared to public hospitals.

The adoption of MR imaging equipment market is also likely to grow owing to the rising incidences of cardiac diseases, neurological and oncological cases in the region. The cost and limited availability of helium for cooling MRI devices has been a concern for this market as well as healthcare reforms in the U.S. that are causing a decrease in reimbursements. However, ReportsnReports does not expect these challenges to hinder the market over the forecast period ending in 2018.

The global medical imaging systems market was valued at USD 25,710.5 million in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7 percent over the next six years according to a report by Grand View Research, a market research and consulting firm.  Moreover, growing global geriatric population base that are more susceptible to cardiovascular, orthopedic and respiratory diseases and increasing market penetration rates of advanced medical imaging systems and PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.”

North America owing to the presence of sophisticated health care infrastructure, high end-user purchasing power and reimbursement framework, dominated the overall market in 2013 at over 32.0 percent according to Grand View Research.

Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR of 7.5 percent from 2014 to 2020.

Scope and Importance of Radiology Research

Although much of what occupies the radiology literature is still descriptive, journals are more often publishing articles on hypothesis-driven research. There are many more articles that reflect some pre - study consideration of experimental design and analysis, and this is a trend that seems to be progressing. There now is greater availability of extramural funding from federal, foundation, and commercial sources.  Speciality departments participate in extramurally funded research.

In 1998, all NIH institutes and centers combined funded an estimated $339 million for over 1,500 biomedical imaging projects—one-third to one-half of this amount was granted to radiology departments (Baum S, Croft B; written communications; 1999). Although there has been a growing concentration of extramural federal funding among a handful of radiology departments, fully half of the 127 university radiology departments in the United States received some NIH funding in 1998.  Increasing numbers of speciality departments are participating in commercially supported multi institutional clinical trials both as a way for more of their faculty to participate in clinical research and as a source of revenue to support investigator-initiated research.

The National Cancer Institute recently awarded a 5-year grant for a national network to conduct multiinstitutional, multidisciplinary clinical trials of diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapeutic technologies—the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) .The greatest difference between 1974 and 1999 is the scope of technology that now can be brought to bear for research.

Departments with laboratory programs now use dedicated computer-based modalities such as CT, magnetic resonance (MR), US, and nuclear scintigraphic techniques to investigate disease states.

More advanced centres are beginning to elucidate how non-invasive imaging can be used to investigate subcellular processes and aid in gene therapy.

Radiology researchers are less isolated than they previously were, with much of the best work representing multidisciplinary collaborations with other specialists and experts in study design, across departments and institutions. Health services research is the multidisciplinary field of scientific investigation that studies how social factors, financing systems, organizational structures and processes, health technologies, and personal behaviours affect access to health care, the quality and cost of health care, and ultimately our health and well-being. Its research domains are individuals, families, organizations, institutions, communities, and populations.

Market Value on Radiology Research

The global teleradiology market was worth US$0.92 billion in 2012. It has been predicted that this market will grow at a CAGR of 22.3% from 2013 to 2019, eventually reaching an estimated market value of US$3.78 billion. These projections are provided in a market research report titled Teleradiology Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013-2019, released by market intelligence firm Transparency Market Research.

Despite serious reimbursement pressure, the imaging-center market appears to be on the move again, adding 131 sites as of the first quarter of 2012. While this year’s expansion does not approach the tremendous growth rates of the period between 2000 and 2008, when the market more than doubled (from 3,068 centers to 6,431), it does return the sector to slightly more than the size it was in 2008 (6,514 centers), before it contracted.¹ Why the total number of sites in 2009 year’s report is 691 more than 2008’s  total, instead of the 131 reported .Due to a discovery data source of 560 diagnostic imaging centers that had not been counted before, it turns out that the market is 560 centers larger than previously thought. The total size of the market at 7,074 sites, which includes the 560 previously unreported imaging-center sites, as well as the 131 new sites.

Market Trends in United States of America

Interventional Radiology and Cardiology

The European market for interventional radiology and cardiology is heading towards maturity, especially in Western Europe. Although the economic slowdown and fewer orders had a negative impact on revenues in 2012, it is expected that expanding applications of interventional systems and the popularisation of hybrid solutions will drive market growth over the 2013-2017 period

Market Trends in Europe Interventional Radiology and Cardiology, finds that the market earned approximately $336.7 million in 2012 and estimates this to reach $352.6 million in 2016. Novel applications, the demand for hybrid solutions and the need for new systems in Eastern Europe will fuel market growth.

One of the key trends in medicine is the steady replacement of open surgeries with minimally invasive procedures. Hybrid operating rooms support this trend.

Remote radiology market Teleradiology

The expansion in the use of teleradiology services has been one of the most controversial issues in the radiology market over the past few years. But if a new report from healthcare technology research and advisory firm CapSite is any indication, the controversy isn't affecting interest in remote radiology.

After surveying more than 700 U.S. healthcare provider organizations, CapSite found that nearly half of those who utilize remote radiology services signed either new contracts or renewals for those services in the past year. In addition, the Williston, VT-based firm found that 21% of survey respondents are planning to evaluate remote radiology over the next 18 months.

CapSite also found significant utilization of remote radiology services for final reads.

Of the sites included in the report, 336 had an annual imaging exam volume of 50,000 or less. There were 145 survey participants with an exam volume of 50,001 to 100,000, 86 with an exam volume of 100,001 to 150,000, 50 with an exam volume of 150,001 to 200,000, and 66 with an exam volume of more than 200,000 exams.

When asked who is responsible for reading radiology images at their facility, 30% of respondents indicated that they had facility-employed radiologists with a supplemental remote radiology group. Nineteen percent utilized a remote radiology group, while an additional 19% had facility-employed radiologists. The remaining 32% indicated another arrangement.

The remote radiology reading market is dominated by two firms: NightHawk Radiology Services of Scottsdale, AZ, and Virtual Radiologic of Eden Prairie, MN; the rest of the market is highly fragmented, according to CapSite.

"Beyond those two, it drops off very quickly," said CapSite vice president Gino Johnson. "That makes it a very unique market in terms of the dynamics and the amount of competition that exists."

Variation was also seen in how facilities use remote radiology services:

• Preliminary reads: 35%
• All radiology services: 20%
• Final reads -- night: 13%
• Final reads -- day and night: 13%
• Subspecialty reads: 9%
• Final reads -- day: 7%
• Other: 3%

The number of organizations employing remote radiology services for final reads was a surprising result, said Bryan Fiekers, director of business development. As this is CapSite's first report in this sector, however, it's too early to tell whether this usage represents a growing trend, Johnson said.

In other trends, a number of firms in the remote radiology market are providing smaller community-sized hospitals with a complete radiology department. "This is something that may be an area to watch," Fiekers said.

Of those utilizing remote radiology services, 22% last contracted (either new contracts or renewals) for these services in the past six months, while 24% did so in the past year. Nine percent last contracted over the past 18 months, and 24% had done so over the past two years. The other 21% indicated another time frame.

"If you look at the activity over the last six months to a year ... this highlights that there is a healthy volume of activity happening within this space," Johnson said.

When asked if they have plans to evaluate remote radiology services in the next 18 months, 79% of respondents said no and 21% said yes. Those who do have plans to evaluate these services are doing so for the following reasons:

• To add/change off-hours coverage: 29%
• To improve reading turnaround time: 27%
• To add/change subspecialty coverage: 12%
• For other reasons: 32%

Regarding the most important criteria when evaluating remote radiology solution providers, CapSite found that 82% of respondents cited budget, 80% pointed to turnaround time improvement, 47% indicated the ability to provide a fully operational remote radiology department, and 41% were interested in subspecialty expertise. An additional 17% included the provision of a RIS/PACS among their most important criteria.

Teleradiology market Share

Radiology groups that use teleradiology tend to be loyal customers, reporting high levels of satisfaction and lasting relationships with their service provider, according to a new report from healthcare technology research and advisory firm CapSite.

The company surveyed 363 radiology groups in the U.S. and found that the majority of teleradiology users had been working with their teleradiology services provider for three or more years.

For the purposes of the report, CapSite defined teleradiology as the use of "an outside vendor that reads a portion of the facility's radiology studies on a regular basis."

Of the 363 groups participating in the survey, 42% had 16 or more radiologists, 15% had 11 to 15 radiologists, 19% had six to 10 radiologists, and 24% had one to five radiologists.

Sixty-three percent were currently using a teleradiology provider, while 37% were not.

Radiology information systems (RIS)

Radiology information systems (RIS) are considered to be one of the basic systems for electronic management of all the imaging departments. Within a radiology department, RIS helps in scheduling patient appointments, managing resources, tracking examination performance, providing examination explanations, ensuring proper distribution of results, and enabling procedure billing.

On the basis of type, the global radiology information systems market is segmented into integrated RIS and standalone RIS. The Integrated RIS segment dominated the global radiology information systems market in 2014, and is estimated to reach $537.1 million by 2019.

Based on components, the market is categorized into services, software, and hardware. In 2014, the services segment accounted for the largest share of the global radiology information systems market, and is projected to reach $272.2 million by 2019. On the basis of deployment mode, the market is categorized into web-based, on-premise, and cloud-based. The web-based segment accounted for the largest share of the global radiology information systems market, and is projected to reach $450.6 million by 2019.

The key players operating in this market are Cerner Corporation (U.S.), McKesson Corporation (U.S.), Siemens Healthcare AG (Germany), Merge Healthcare (U.S.), Allscripts (U.S.), GE Healthcare (U.K.), Philips Healthcare (Netherlands), and Epic Systems (U.S.).

Digital radiology Market

Digital radiology offers a plethora of benefits such as accurate and high-quality images, flexibility in image management, superior evaluation of images and data, reduced exposure to radiation, and improved patient turnouts. These factors have made digital radiology more popular compared to computed radiology. With increasing demand for digital radiography equipment, the competition has increased, leading to a decline in prices. Digital radiology has become more affordable and is being used in a wide-range of applications. Increasing R&D activities in Mexico, along with government initiatives, has further propelled the Mexico digital radiology market.

However, despite digital radiology becoming more affordable in recent years, its cost of initial installation and outlay cost is extremely high. This limits its penetration in smaller clinics and medical centers, and restricts the overall growth of the market. Moreover, digital radiography rooms require to undergo complete renovations, forcing buyers to opt for computed radiography systems in the interim period.
