Angiography lab procedures are experiencing strong growth in hospitals larger than 200 beds, according to a report recently released by market research firm Technology Marketing Group. In its census, Des Plaines, IL-based TMG surveyed 1680 angiography hospital sites at 2290 hospitals of 150 or more beds, which performed 2.5 million angiography and nonangiography procedures on 2330 imaging units in 1998.
TMG discovered an expansion of angiography into interventional procedures, a trend that is expected to continue. An estimated 500 of the angiography sites told TMG they plan to acquire 530 angiography x-ray systems between 1998 and 2001. Of these, 30% represent additional systems rather than replacement units.
In 1998, average angiography lab procedures per site at all sites greater than 200 beds was 1620, an increase of 16.5% over the 1390 recorded in TMGs 1995 survey. In a survey subset of hospitals with more than 400 beds, average angiography lab procedures per site was 2510, a 24.3% increase over the 2020 procedures reported in 1995. Slightly smaller growth was seen at hospitals with 200 to 300 beds, with those sites reporting an average of 1140 procedures, an 18% increase over the 965 posted three years ago.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
