Development of high-field open MRI scanners will drive future MRI market growth, according to a report recently published by market research firm Frost & Sullivan. Total MRI market revenues reached $1.16 billion in 1999, and could rise to $1.61 billion by 2007, according to the San Jose, CA-based firm.
While open low- and mid-field systems are already in the marketplace, high-field open scanners will be in greater demand due to greater image quality and faster, more accurate diagnoses, Frost said. New high-field open systems will drive significant total market gains, as high-field systems yield the greatest revenues among MRI equipment.
