The U.S. market for cardiovascular disease diagnostic products is expected to exceed $3.9 billion in 2004, growing to over $4.7 billion in 2007. Drivers of this growth include imaging systems as well as near-patient in vitro diagnostic testing products, with both segments increasing at double-digit rates through 2007, according to a report issued by market research firm Medtech Insight
The report, U.S. Markets for Cardiovascular Disease Diagnostic Products, includes analyses of technologies, market forecasts, competitors, and opportunities in electrocardiography, conventional x-ray-based imaging, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound imaging systems.
The report also covers x-ray and CT contrast media, nuclear medicine radiopharmaceuticals and ultrasound contrast agents, angiography devices, intravascular ultrasound systems, functional angiometry products, diagnostic electrophysiology catheters, and cardiac marker, cholesterol/lipid testing, and coagulation testing systems, according to the Newport Beach, CA-based firm.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
