Only time will tell the extent to which vendors will be impacted by COVID-19 and how the growth in market projections will change. As most are aware, the business side of healthcare will greatly be affected as both the hospitals and vendors do everything possible to improve the patient’s outcome. Hospitals and clinics will continue to build on their relationships with vendors and strengthen their partnerships. There are several Molecular Imaging systems at different price points for healthcare facilities to consider. These systems can be configured to the client’s current and future needs. A follow-up study in 6 to 12 months would be ideal to better visualize how much COVID-19 impacted the Molecular Imaging market and any noticeable change in a particular market segment.
