Revenues for the global ultrasound market will continue to expand and will exceed $6 billion by 2012, according to a new report by market research firm InMedica, a division of IMS Research of Wellingborough, U.K.
The report cited the modality's flexibility, ease of use, and relatively low cost for the upward growth pattern over the next four years, despite a recessionary worldwide economy.
The trend to miniaturize ultrasound technology and the adoption of handheld ultrasound equipment also is fueling growth.
