But heavy reliance on PACS and resistance to broader cooperation with other hospital stakeholders is slowing healthcare IT development. We look at the dynamic changes taking place in this rapidly evolving industry.March 23, 2014ConferenceSpecificity provides mixed opportunities for MRIIn recent years, development of application-focused MRI technology has appeared to slow. Improvements on scan speed, workflow, and operating cost have broadened the availability of MRI during austere times. But few of these developments have offered new insight for clinical diagnosis -- but that might changing. Could MRI finally be on a path toward greater clinical specificity?March 12, 2014Market AnalysisSize matters in the future evolution of compact ultrasoundCompact or handheld ultrasound systems are now used across an array of specialties and clinical applications, often generating demand for ultrasound where none had existed. What's next? Possibilities abound, but a role as the stethoscope of the future isn't likely to be one of them, according to Stephen Holloway of consulting firm IHS.March 2, 2014Market AnalysisMRI in the face of economic adversity: Where next?MRI has been the flagship of diagnostic imaging since its conception in the mid-1970s. In 2012, demand for MRI equipment drove market revenues of 693 million euros in Europe, Middle East, and Africa annually. Yet with increasing cost pressure, is there a risk of stalling innovation?July 28, 2013Market AnalysisAusterity drives change in focus for European CT marketThe European CT market is experiencing a challenging period. Increased awareness of radiation dose, limited healthcare budgets. and increased use of ultrasound and MRI are all having an impact on demand for new CT equipment.March 20, 2013Market AnalysisNext-generation MRI: Integrated, affordable, accessible?MRI has long been the gold standard of imaging technology, highlighting how advanced technology can be used safely to provide accurate, high-quality images for diagnosis across a range of clinical fields and applications. Obstacles will undoubtedly slow or divert the development of MRI equipment, but the modality is set to play a leading role in the future of diagnostic imaging.March 14, 2013ConferenceNew FPD technology in digital x-ray drives modular futureVIENNA - The fundamentals of static x-ray imaging have changed little in decades, prompting the majority of radiologists to pay scant attention to developments in this sector. However, the emergence and increasing use of flat-panel detector (FPD) technology is producing surprising results.March 10, 2013Market AnalysisTough times may still lie ahead for European devicesThe European economic outlook may be showing the first signs of positivity after three years of gloom, but the outlook for medical device markets remains bleak.
