Refurbished Medical Imaging Equipment - Growing Business During Lean Economy - Upcoming Frost & Sullivan Web Conference

LONDON, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- In times of an economic downturn, the refurbished medical imaging equipment market experiences a substantial upswing in comparison to the turnover with new equipment. However, in different parts of Europe the demand for refurbished medical imaging systems varies just as much as the pricing dynamics across different tiers of vendors. While the development of new technologies in medical imaging can be a major driver for the refurbished medical imaging equipment market, it can also form a substantial challenge to market participants. The introduction of new technologies slows down decision-making processes at the customers' end, as they need to decide between new technological features and cost issues.
