Dublin, April 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "2023 U.S PET Imaging Market Summary Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This '2023 PET Imaging Market Summary Report' summarizes the results from the Medical Information Division's 2022 PET Census of hospital and non-hospital facilities performing PET imaging in the United States. The universe of PET sites for this study is defined as any location where PET scans are performed using a fixed PET-only, fixed PET/CT, fixed PET/MR, or a PET-only or PET/CT scanner provided by a mobile van service. The responses from the 386 PET imaging professionals have been projected to the identified universe of 2,445 hospitals and imaging/PET centers that perform PET imaging using fixed or mobile PET equipment.
PET prostate scan volumes grew 46% year-over-year, showing an increase of 3 percentage points to produce 9% of the overall procedure mix by study type, according to the 2023 PET Market Summary Report.
After a 12.2% increase in overall PET scan volume in 2021, PET scan volume remained flat year over year in 2022. However, the change in volume of PET scans varied by site type, with hospitals with less than 400 beds having a 25% increase in scan volume, nonhospital sites seeing a 10.9% decrease, and hospitals with 400 or more beds remaining flat in 2022.
Looking ahead, 47% of PET imaging sites anticipate their scan volumes will increase over the next 12 months, 44% of volumes to stay the same, and 1% anticipate a decrease.
Pertaining to radiopharmaceutical usage, 82% of PET scans used F-18 FDG, 7% used rubidium-82, and all other agents made up the remaining 11%.
In 2022, 30% of sites were considering the purchase of a PET scanner over the next three years, up 2 percentage points from 2021. The percentage of sites planning to have capital budgets for PET equipment in 2023 is expected to decrease 3 percentage points from 2022 levels to 11% of sites, and then remain flat in 2024.
Of planned system purchases in 2022, 92% will be equipped with a digital detector. The top OEMs being considered for future PET system purchases are Siemens Healthineers with 64% of mentions, GE HealthCare with 54%, Philips with 8%, Canon Medical Systems with 4%, and United Imaging with 2%.
Regarding patient wait times for nonemergency outpatient PET scans, the overall median wait time is six days, with 29% of sites having a median wait time of less than three days. Independent PET sites have the shortest median wait time of three days, and hospitals with 400 or more beds, hospitals with less than 200 beds, and hospital-owned PET centers have the longest, with a median wait time of seven days.
The 2023 PET Market Summary Report explores market trends in U.S. hospitals and imaging centers, including procedure volume, manufacture-installed base features and share, the use of OEM vs. third-party service providers, purchase plans, brand loyalty, radiopharmaceutical usage, and site operations characteristics. The report was published in March 2023 and is based on responses from 386 radiology/departmental administrators and clinicians who participated in the nationwide survey from August 2021-September 2022. Vendors covered in this report include Bracco, Canon, Cardinal Health, GEHC, Jubilant, Philips, Siemens, and SOFIE.
PET imaging has grown over the past two decades to become a mainstay in the diagnosis and management of cancer patients. While oncology scans continue to comprise the majority of PET scans, new radiopharmaceuticals offer the promise of increasing the efficacy of PET imaging for cardiology and neurology.
The '2023 PET Imaging Market Summary Report' monitors trends in PET scan utilization, the adoption of fixed PET scanners (e.g., PET-only, PET/CT, and PET/MR), the use of mobile PET services, purchase plans, and radiopharmaceutical use. Survey results are projected to the universe of facilities using PET, and the report addresses the PET unit market for 2022-2026.
