Global Outlook of the Hybrid Imaging Market Feb-2017 | Page 2

Also, the SPECT/CT machines come with high price tags, which limit the adoption rates, particularly in
emerging economies. Another issue for low adoption of SPECT/CT is the lack of CMS reimbursements.
Also, the high-cost of hybrid systems allows physicians to adopt low-cost standalone systems. For
instance, the cost of a standalone PET scan ranges from $3,000 to $6,000, and the cost of a CT scan
ranges from $1,200 to $3,200. A large population in APAC, especially in countries such as India and
China, will provide a sizeable demand for PET/CT scanners. However, the high cost of PET scanners can
reduce the adoption rate even further, thereby affecting the growth of the market.
