Market Opportunity (USA)
Industry Overview
Cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) remains
the leading cause of mortality in the United States and represents a significant and growing public health and economic burden.
According to the American Heart Association, approximately 48% of U.S. adults are affected by one or more forms of CVD. The total
economic impact of CVD continues to expand, with combined direct and indirect costs projected to exceed $1 trillion annually by
2035, driven by an aging population, increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes, and improved disease detection. Data from the
National Institutes of Health further underscores the long-term growth in healthcare expenditures associated with cardiovascular
disease.
Diagnostic imaging is central to the early detection,
diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease. Advanced imaging technologies enable clinicians to identify disease at earlier
stages, guide therapeutic decisions, and reduce the need for invasive and costly procedures. Nuclear imaging is a specialized diagnostic
modality that utilizes low-dose radiopharmaceuticals to evaluate both anatomical structure and physiological function, including
myocardial perfusion, blood flow, and metabolic activity.
In cardiology, nuclear imaging is widely used in
the evaluation of coronary artery disease (“CAD”) and serves as a non-invasive “gatekeeper” to invasive
procedures such as coronary angiography. The two principal nuclear imaging modalities are Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
(“SPECT”) and Positron Emission Tomography (“PET”). While SPECT has historically dominated the market,
PET imaging is increasingly recognized as the superior modality due to its higher diagnostic accuracy and expanded clinical capabilities.
Cardiac PET imaging offers enhanced sensitivity
and specificity, lower radiation exposure, and the ability to quantify myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve, enabling
improved detection of multivessel and diffuse coronary disease. PET imaging is commonly performed using radiotracers such as Rubidium-82
and Nitrogen-13 ammonia. Recent advancements, including the introduction of Fluorine-18–based tracers such as Flurpiridaz
F-18, are expected to further accelerate adoption by improving image quality, extending tracer availability, and simplifying logistics.
Market Opportunity and Industry Transition
The Company believes the U.S. nuclear cardiology
market is undergoing a significant structural transition from SPECT to PET-CT imaging. There are approximately 13,000 SPECT systems
installed in the United States, of which an estimated 10,000 are utilized primarily for cardiac imaging. Industry data and clinical
guidance suggest that a substantial portion of these systems will be replaced or upgraded over time as providers transition to
PET-CT technology.
3
Professional society guidance, including position
statements and clinical literature associated with the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, increasingly supports PET imaging
as a preferred modality for myocardial perfusion imaging in appropriate patient populations. PET imaging provides superior diagnostic
performance, supports quantification of coronary flow reserve, and enables more efficient, single-session imaging protocols compared
to traditional SPECT imaging.
In addition, reimbursement dynamics and operational
efficiencies further support the transition to PET-CT. PET imaging is generally associated with higher reimbursement rates relative
to SPECT, while also offering faster scan times, improved throughput, and reduced downstream testing. Clinical studies have demonstrated
that PET imaging may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures and improve overall cost efficiency in patient management.
The introduction of next-generation radiopharmaceuticals,
including Fluorine-18–based tracers, is expected to expand access to cardiac PET imaging by enabling broader distribution
