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

LONDON, June 1, 2010 - 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.

attractive than manufacturing during lean economic times."
