2021 Radiation Therapy Market Summary Report

IMV's ‘2021 Radiation Therapy Market Summary Report’ provides a department-wide view of the key radiation therapy technologies used in treating cancer patients, including external beam therapy equipment, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), brachytherapy equipment, treatment planning systems, simulators (X-ray, CT, PET, and MRI), and oncology information systems. This report monitors trends over the past decade in the top cancer types treated with radiation, patient volume, installed equipment, market share, and technology adoption rates. Future plans for acquiring such technologies are estimated, along with the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on capital budgets for RT equipment. Over 25 manufacturers providing hardware and software solutions for radiation therapy are covered in this report.

The data source for this report is IMV's Radiation Therapy Census Database, which provides comprehensive profiles of hospital and non-hospital sites performing radiation therapy in the United States. This database can be separately licensed by qualified subscribers, and includes contact and site-specific information.
