Procedure volume in the PET market is continuing to grow at about 6% per year in the United States since 2013, reaching its highest level ever in the U.S. in 2019.
An estimated 2,200,800 clinical PET scans were performed in U.S. hospital and non-hospital sites using fixed PET imaging systems or mobile PET services, according to IMV’s newly published “2020 PET Imaging Market Summary Report.” Compared to an estimated 2,086,000 PET scans performed in 2018, total PET scans increased about 6% to 2,200,800 in 2019, representing the highest level of PET scan volume to date in the U.S. Moreover, based on estimates for the next twelve months provided by the survey respondents, total PET scans will continue the single-digit growth trend of a 6-7% increase in PET scans in 2020.
