In the U.S., recent reimbursement changes and the economic
downturn have called the expanding use of MRI scanning into
question. The North American market is worth $2.3 billion in 2010
and is expected to increase at a 4.4% compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) to reach $2.9 billion in 2015.

Europe ranks with the U.S. as one of the most developed MRI
markets. Expanding applications in the neurologic, cardiac, and
breast MRI areas should drive the EU market. This sector is
estimated at $1.2 billion in 2010 and is expected to increase at a
10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach $1.9 billion in
2015.

Japan remains an early adopter of newer MRI equipment, making it
a prime opportunity for newer 3T equipment. This market is valued
at $1 billion in 2010 and should reach $1.3 billion in 2015, a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%.
