MediPoint: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems - South America Analysis and Market Forecasts

MediPoint: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems - South America Analysis and Market Forecasts

Summary

The global magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) market is a shifting, capital equipment market that is saturated with numerous players developing innovative technologies. Given their impressive safety and efficacy as well as non-invasive nature, MRI systems have seen continued adoption since they were first introduced to the healthcare market. Rapid advances in the field imaging along with the development of MRI safe technologies have greatly expanded the potential of therapeutic applications.

In Brazil, cost and reimbursement remain the top concerns of practicing radiologists who must base diagnostic strategies on cost-effectiveness to a greater degree than their counterparts in the US or EU. As a result of this slow market growth, many US- and EU-based companies often overlook the Brazilian market, focusing on greener pastures in Europe and the US where profitability is easier to achieve and maintain. This leaves radiologists in Brazil with limited options in terms of new technology, which in turn slows progress in the country and ultimately hurts patient outcomes.
