Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2015 -- Ultrasound imaging is a useful method for imaging muscle, soft tissue and bone surfaces. It can yield a live video, has no long-term effects and usually causes no patient discomfort. Ultrasounds have difficultly penetrating bone, which makes cranial procedures challenging. Ultrasounds also have a limited depth that can be imaged, causing complications in obese patients. Unlike other imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the quality of the resulting image is dependent on the skill of the ultrasound operator.

The U.S. market for ultrasound imaging equipment covers cardiology, radiology, obstetrics and gynecology, breast, urology, surgery, vascular, ophthalmic and point of care (POC) ultrasound systems.

The two largest segments of the overall ultrasound equipment market in 2014 were the cardiology and radiology segments. These respective segments each accounted for over 25% of the overall market. Cardiology and radiology represent highly saturated segments of the ultrasound equipment market. However, due to advances in 3D and 4D imaging, as well as elastography and combined MRI/ultrasound imaging techniques, growth rates in these segments are still expected to reach approximately 4% by the end of the forecast period.
