Dublin, June 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Market Report for PET Imaging in Japan" report to their offering.
This report provides information on the current Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner and cyclotron install base in Japan. Along with the current known number of PET scanners and cyclotrons in Japan, the report also contains a detailed breakdown of this equipment by year of installation, manufacturer, model, specific location and current utilization. The future market utility for the PET scanner and cyclotron market is also estimated to the year 2020.
In Japan PET scanners were introduced in the 1990's and the PET cancer screening program was first investigated in 1994, becoming fully established in 2002. This program promoted the widespread use of PET machines and the number of PET facilities in Japan has remarkably increased over the last decade. Currently, Japan is the only country in which PET scans are widely used for cancer screening and has the second largest after the USA, in number of PET scanners.
Providing a value-added level of insight, an introduction on PET imaging is given, as well as information on:
- The utilization of PET and the development of the PET modality over time in the Japan market
- Current Japan healthcare system and reimbursement for PET imaging
- Market evolution and future developments
This report is built using a combination of data and information sourced from the expertise within the analysis team, customer surveys, equipment manufacturer surveys and an audit of FDA approved PET scanners and F18 radio-isotope cyclotron manufacturing sites.
