New infrastructure projects in markets beyond BRIC will be the biggest driver for capital expenditure-based industrial inspection and monitoring solutions. Potential game-changing countries include Indonesia, Turkey, the Middle East, and Africa. Markets will also see wide-scale adoption of big data platforms that enable continuous monitoring of critical and non-critical assets to maximize productivity and prevent costly shutdowns.

“Productivity trends in the consumer electronics industry, such as enhanced processing power, expanded memory, display technologies, lithium-ion batteries, and a shift toward touch-based devices, will directly impact tomorrow’s mechanical test equipment,” said Frost & Sullivan Measurement and Instrumentation Program Manager Vijay Mathew. “Equipment vendors are increasingly integrating these features into their devices as technologies continue to converge and solutions become more interactive, portable, connected and easy to navigate.”

Lack of skilled technicians and an aging workforce is a key challenge in the mechanical test industry. Though well-publicized infrastructure failures, aging infrastructures and growing investments in new infrastructure projects have incrementally increased demand for new technicians, the supply shortage continues. Coupled with shrinking budgets, end-user industries are compelled to outsource maintenance and inspection services.

“With buzzwords such as Industry 4.0, smart factories and smart manufacturing gaining interest, end users look to move away from traditional testing and inspection technologies and opt for automated solutions that can be integrated with modern production lines,” observed Mathew. “Inclusion of cloud-based software and networked systems and interfaces will also be crucial to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0.”

Frost & Sullivan Lauds Philips Healthcare’s Introduction of Vereos, the First Digital PET/CT Solution

admin

— Vereos PET/CT is an improvement over PET imaging in quantification accuracy and reproducibility, as well as in procedure workflow efficiency

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the positron emission tomography (PET) imaging industry, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Philips Healthcare with the 2014 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation Leadership. Philips Healthcare launched the industry’s first digital PET/computed tomography (CT) system when it introduced the Vereos PET/CT system. Vereos’s all-digital imaging chain was redesigned from the ground-up, forming a new digital system that aids the next level of performance in PET imaging.

At the core of the Vereos system are novel silicon photomultiplier detectors, which overcome the limitations of avalanche photodiodes (heating and vibrations) to provide a definitive replacement option for traditional analog detectors. This breakthrough innovation is set to enable providers to breach the next frontier in the clinical utility of PET imaging.

Expectedly, digital PET imaging is already experiencing early adoption in academic and research centers. Digital PET imaging’s value proposition of better workflow, performance and reliability is increasingly appealing to facilities looking to scale up their competitive positioning in diagnostic imaging in general and in specialty areas in particular.

Frost & Sullivan believes that while the time-of-flight (TOF) technology facilitated significant enhancements to oncology PET imaging, it made only marginal improvements to cardiology and neurology PET imaging, which are expected to be dynamic growth segments for PET imaging in the next few years, with clinical advances and new radiopharmaceuticals to augment adoption and procedure volume in these two areas.

“Through a combination of hardware and software advances, the Vereos PET/CT offers superior sensitivity and volumetric resolution, which can potentially translate to much richer image quality, performance, reliability and diagnostic confidence in PET imaging,” said Frost & Sullivan Principal Analyst Nadim Michel Daher.

With the rise of value-based healthcare and imaging, the patient outcomes generated by advanced and expensive imaging procedures are being all the more scrutinized by health systems and payers. Therefore, it is important for imaging providers vested in molecular imaging to demonstrate PET imaging’s effectiveness in deriving definitive diagnoses and treatment plans.

“However, the importance of digital PET technology goes well beyond its technology, and competitive and business excellence,” noted Daher. “Philips’s powerful and meaningful new technology is playing a huge part in bringing diagnostic imaging back to the forefront of the healthcare value chain.”

Given the clinical, operational, and financial benefits of the Vereos PET/CT system, it is no surprise that it is being considered the most trusted solution to advance.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and leveraging new technologies, which significantly impacts both the functionality and the customer value of the new products and applications. The award lauds the high R&D spend toward innovation, its relevance to the industry and the positive impact on brand perception.
