Radiation-based Therapy and Therapeutic Imaging

Therapeutic radiation (TR) in the form of ionizing radiation has been used for more than 100 years to treat cancer and certain other diseases. More recently, other forms of TR (e.g., x-ray, radio frequency, ultrasound and laser) have been added to the physicians' arsenal against disease.

As the medical profession moves towards greater reliance on minimally invasive and noninvasive therapeutic procedures, therapeutic uses of radiation are growing in importance. Radiation often can be used to treat a disease or pathology without an incision, or using a very small incision. Radiation equipment also is widely used in conjunction with other minimally invasive surgical procedures to guide other instruments.

This BCC report identifies and describes segments of the TR market with the greatest commercial potential in the near to midterm (2004 through 2009), projecting future demand in these segments, and evaluating challenges that must be overcome for each segment to realize its full commercial potential.

Scope Of Study

The report contains:

• Definitions of and milestones in the development of TR
• Examination of existing TR technologies and technologies under development
• Analysis of intellectual property and patent portfolios
• Analysis of current and potential TR applications
• Market forecasts for TR applications and end-user segments with the greatest commercial potential in the U.S. through 2009
• Analysis of the industry's structure and market shares.

Report Highlights

• The U.S. market for radiation-based therapy and therapeutic monitoring equipment is projected to rise at an AAGR (average annual growth rate) of 7.6% from $4 billion in 2004 to $5.7 billion in 2009.
• Oncology applications accounted for the largest share of the market after general surgical applications. Other major applications were neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery.
• The fastest-growing applications are projected to be neurosurgery, dentistry and veterinary medicine.
• General surgery is expected to be the slowest-growing segment and its share of the total market is expected to shrink from 51.1% to 41.5%.
