Technology Opportunities

Current conventional structural diagnostic modalities do not detect evident of cancer lesions at early stages as they are not cancer-specific.

The functional imaging FDG-PET provides the ability to visualize cancer cells based on their increased glucose metabolic activity and can detect tumor presence at early stages that conventional structural diagnostic modalities do not yet detect any evident lesions.

The functional imaging FDG-PET provides the ability to visualize cancer cells based on their increased glucose metabolic activity and can detect tumor presence at stages that conventional structural diagnostic modalities do not even detect any evident lesions.

The cancer imaging market is a very large market, According to a recent market report, the global cancer diagnostics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2014 to 2020 and reach an estimated value of USD 168.6 billion in 2020. Cancer diagnosis through imaging modalities constitutes the largest portion in the cancer imaging market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2014 to 2020.
