• This report studies the medical diagnostic and
  therapeutic ultrasound devices market over the
  forecast period 2012 2017.
• Ultrasound imaging has been used as a diagnostic
  tool since the 1940s in a variety of
  applications, especially in the fields of
  cardiology, radiology, and obstetrics
  gynecology, and to a lesser extent in urology and
  musculoskeletal. These applications constitute
  the conventional market for diagnostic ultrasound
  devices. The technology has also found great use
  in general imaging and point-of-care diagnostics,
  such as emergency medicine and anesthesia.
• Ultrasound is one of the most affordable
  techniques of imaging and diagnosing various
  anatomical abnormalities and structural
  deformities. Since it is a non-invasive
  technique, it has been highly accepted by
  physicians, technicians and considered as a
  treatment of choice by patients. It is one of the
  most commonly used devices for monitoring
  pregnant women, along with the fetus.

• The therapeutic applications of ultrasound, such
  as ablation, have been well accepted by the
  medical community due to its efficacy and speed.
  High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is
  applied in ablation procedures that involve the
  removal of unwanted biological tissue. The HIFU
  procedure, which lasts up to 15-20 minutes, has
  been successfully applied for the removal of
  uterine fibroids in women and treatment of
  prostate cancer. 
• Another type of therapeutic ultrasound technique
  is used in lithotripsy. Lithotripsy has been used
  to treat bladder and kidney stones for the past
  few decades. Initially pneumatic drills were used
  to break the stones these lithotripters were
  powered electrically and used invasively, and
  hence called intracorporeal lithotripters. The
  advanced extracorporeal lithotripters, however,
  use high intensity focused ultrasonic waves to
  break gall, bladder or kidney stones by rupturing
  them into small pieces through shockwaves the
  pieces then flow out through the urethra or
  through biliary ducts.

• The total medical ultrasound devices market is
  estimated to be valued at 5.6 billion in 2011
  and predicted to reach 8.1 billion by 2017 at a
  CAGR of 6.2. The most significant growth for the
  specialties segment was seen in emergency
  medicine, anesthesiology and musculoskeletal
  applications. The demand for point-of-care
  diagnostics has driven the market for the last 5
  years and is expected to be a prime driver for
  the forecast period.
