Nonhospital sites see increased competition for oncology-related imaging

Davin Korstjens.In 2023, nonhospital sites faced more competition compared with hospital-based facilities for oncology-related diagnostic imaging scans, according to IMV’s recently published 2023 Oncology in Diagnostic Imaging Market Outlook Report. For the future outlook factor “Competition with other imaging providers in our area is reducing the number of oncology-related patients scanned at our facility," nonhospital sites gave a 3.2 out of 5 rating (with 5 indicating very high importance) compared with a 2.7 out of 5 rating for hospital sites – results that indicate nonhospital sites face more competition for oncology-related imaging patients compared with hospital sites. In addition, for the factor “Our current imaging scanner technology meets our clinical and throughput needs for oncology-related patients,” nonhospital sites gave a 4.1 out of 5 rating, compared with hospital sites, which registered a 3.7 out of 5 rating. This result suggests that nonhospital sites are less inclined to expand their diagnostic imaging capacity to perform more oncology-related imaging scans compared to hospital site counterparts. .tg {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;} .tg td{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px; overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;} .tg th{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px; font-weight:normal;overflow:hidd...
