Global Nuclear Medicine Market 2016-2020

About Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine is a specialty branch of medical imaging that involves the use of modalities such as SPECT and PET scans. These technologies help detect and evaluate various disorders in the areas of oncology, cardiology, and neurology. Modalities for nuclear medicine involve the use of a minimal amount of radioisotopes that are either injected, swallowed, or inhaled by an individual. These radioisotopes reach the specific organ targeted by the pharmaceutical compound and emit radiations that can be detected using a scanner or a detector.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global nuclear medicine market to grow at a CAGR of 8.34% during the period 2016-2020.
