Next Generation Ultrasound: An Evolution in Diagnosis and Therapy - Upcoming Frost & Sullivan Web Conference
LONDON, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Exposure to radiation from imaging equipment is constantly subjected to scrutiny from regulatory authorities. Ultrasound poses no radiation threat and is constantly further developed to accentuate primary and secondary diagnosis. The next wave in ultrasound technology will witness advancements in Elastography and Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) for diagnosis. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is also emerging to treat pathologies that usually require surgical intervention.

This briefing will benefit product managers, R&D/product development engineers, vice presidents for R&D, and CEOs who intend to acquire smaller companies with a viable technology application. Many of the therapeutic ultrasound companies are financed by venture capitals, and this briefing will therefore benefit other VCs interested in investing in the ultrasound sector in the long term.
"Affordability, mobility, cost and no safety threats are factors that make ultrasound a worthy proposition for investment in hospitals," concludes Mr. Shanmugham. "While the market for ultrasound is mature, advancements in technology that address both diagnosis and therapy will trigger a niche sector for growth in the ultrasound market over the next seven to ten years."
