Replacement of older image intensifier-based C-arm systems with flat-panel detector technology and the transition into a digital radiology environment to enhance workflow are two factors driving the European C-arm market.
A report from market research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan of San Jose, CA, estimated that the European C-arm market earned revenues of $375.2 million in 2005 and could reach $548.8 million in 2012.
The study also noted that the high cost of flat-panel C-arms and a lack of funding for healthcare projects will pose "an important limitation to their adoption in the mobile C-arms segment."
