Yole on Medical Imaging Market

Yole Développement says that the solid-state medical imaging including CCD, CIS, a-Si FPD, a-Se FPD, and SiPM are step by step penetrating the medical imaging industry. Yole’s analysts estimate the solid state medical imaging device market at US$350 million in 2016 with a comfortable 8.3% CAGR until 2022.

For some technologies and applications, wafer volume growth is very significant,” explains Yole’s Activity Leader, Pierre Cambou. “For example, the development of SiPM7 in the field of molecular imaging will multiply in quantity by more than 6x over the next five years. This massive transformation from photomultiplier tubes to solid-state IC was derived from the need of multimodal equipment (PET/MRI10) but it’s going to have a direct consequence in the field of PET/CT11 and spread all the way to SPECT12 imaging."
