In 2009, the U.S. market for X-ray, mammography and contrast agents was valued at over $5 billion. The medical imaging equipment market includes X-rays, mammography as well as contrast agents and injectors. The market declined in 2009 due to the deficit reduction act, which limited reimbursement for some imaging modalities. In addition, the global economic recession of 2008 to 2009 negatively impacted the market; however, the market is expected to recover beginning in 2010.

Medical imaging is the technique and process by which images of the human body are created for clinical uses. Types of medical imaging include radiography, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance, endoscopy, thermography, sonography and photography. Other methods that do not produce images are also considered to be a part of medical imaging, as they provide diagnostic data such as electroencephalography, magnetencephalography and electrocardiography. Prior to the use of medical imaging, physiological issues were investigated through surgery, which posed a much higher risk to the patient. This U.S. medical imaging equipment market includes: X-rays, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, ultrasound imaging systems as well as contrast agents and injectors.

Globally, over 16 million peripheral vascular procedures were performed in 2020. The majority of these procedures were vascular closure device procedures followed by PTA balloon catheter procedures.
