The U.S. handheld ultrasound market is expected to exceed US $1.2 billion by 2016 due to technological advances and improvements in three and four-dimensional capabilities by some of the major manufacturers including SonoSite, GE and Siemens, according to a new report by market research firm iData Research.The report, U.S. Market for Ultrasound Equipment 2010, includes market analyses and competitor profiles for 11 ultrasound systems – cardiology, radiology, obstetrics, gynecology, breast, urology, vascular, ophthalmic, emergency medicine, musculoskeletal, trans-cranial and handheld ultrasound imaging devices.Adoption of handheld ultrasound devices and the use of ultrasound in emergency medicine will fuel strong growth in the overall U.S. ultrasound market, which suffered a sharp decrease in sales during the recession, according to iData. The breast ultrasound market is showing strong growth, the report notes, and is on track to double in size by 2016 as demand for devices in the detection of breast cancer increases.
