Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Indian Markets for Diagnostic Imaging Systems 2009" report to their offering.

The Indian market for diagnostic imaging systems grew rapidly in 2008. The deepening of the global economic crisis, however, is strongly limiting facilities' ability to raise capital for the purchase of advanced imaging systems such as computed tomography ( CT ) and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ). Additionally, the Indian rupee has weakened against the US dollar since September 2008; this is also limiting the market because advanced diagnostic imaging systems used in the country are imported. Sales of more powerful ultrasound, higher-frequency analog x-ray, and digital x-ray solutions to improve image resolution and diagnostic confidence will, however, drive the Indian market for diagnostic imaging systems. Additionally, the adoption of higher-slice CT and high-field MRI systems will remain strong as imaging facilities compete for patients and referrals. Consequently, the Indian market for diagnostic imaging systems will expand over the forecast period.

Report Highlights:

• Understand how the current economic crisis will affect the Indian market through 2013.
• Analyze which technologies will be adopted rapidly over the forecast period.
• Analyze trends in unit sales within each modality, e.g. the adoption of 64-slice CT scanners versus lower-slice CT systems.
• Understand how the installed base of imaging scanners will expand over the forecast period.
• Analyze the size of the market for refurbished scanners for advanced imaging modalities ( CT and MRI ).
