Demand for PET Imaging Surges 12.2% in 2024, Straining Capacity at U.S. Facilities, IMV Report Finds
While procedure volumes climbed, the average number of scans per installed fixed PET/CT system rose by 8.2%, indicating that many facilities are absorbing the increased demand using current system capacity. According to Davin Korstjens, Director of Market Intelligence at IMV Medical Information Division, "The uptick in both overall volume and per-system utilization highlights the efficiency of current systems, but also signals a need to reassess future imaging capacity."
Physician Workload and Facility Differences
The report reveals that at sites with fixed PET/CT systems, physicians read an average of 336 PET scans annually per site. However, this number varies widely by facility size—from just 119 scans per physician in hospitals with fewer than 200 beds to 567 scans per physician in hospitals with more than 400 beds.

General radiologists read PET scans at 69% of surveyed sites, followed by nuclear medicine physicians (51%) and cardiologists/nuclear cardiologists (11%). The top referring specialists include medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pulmonologists.
Wait Times Rise with Demand
Forty percent of sites reported wait times of eight days or more for nonemergency outpatient PET scans—a figure that remains steady year-over-year but has more than doubled since 2019. This trend, coupled with growing scan volumes and system usage, points to increasing strain on PET imaging resources.
Future Outlook
"With longer wait times and higher utilization, the data suggests that facilities may need to expand PET imaging capacity to keep up with growing demand," added Korstjens.
IMV's 2025 PET Market Summary Report offers a comprehensive view of the PET imaging landscape in the U.S., including procedure volumes, equipment installed base, service providers, purchase plans, and site operations. Based on survey responses from 509 radiology professionals collected between February 2024 and January 2025, the report includes insights on key vendors such as Bracco, Canon, Cardinal Health, GE HealthCare, Jubilant/Draximage/Triad Isotopes, PharmaLogic, Philips, Siemens, SOFIE/IBA/Eastern Isotopes, and United Imaging.

Simple Recipe Swaps for a Healthier You
MISSION, Kan., Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- (Family Features) If the idea of overhauling your family's menu is stopping you from making healthier choices in the kitchen, you might find relief in knowing simple swaps are all it takes. Instead of sweeping changes that require all new recipes, just changing an ingredient or two in your favorite dishes can put you on a path toward better nutrition. You can boost the nutritional value of meals and support your heart health by making smart substitutions – like using whole grains, healthy oils and lower-sodium options – to reduce saturated fat, added sugars and sodium while adding beneficial nutrients like fiber, protein and healthy fats. Another nutrition-conscious swap you can make easily is opting for fat-free or low-fat plain Greek yogurt in place of full-fat sour cream and other dairy products. A single serving typically provides 10 or more grams of protein and roughly 13% of the daily recommended value of calcium. In fact, according to the American Heart Association, a balanced diet that includes regular consumption of unsweetened, nonfat, plain yogurt for individuals with hypertension may help improve blood pressure outcomes. Start doing your heart a favor with these favorites that replace full-fat ingredients with low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt, helping you reduce calorie intake and fat content without compromising flavor. Mango and Pineapple Tropical Parfaits capture the flavors of ripe fruit, silky yogurt and crunchy granola in every spoonful of paradise while ruby-red pomegranate and coconut top off this island treasure. Fruity Oatmeal Yogurt Parfaits provide a protein-packed breakfast to start busy days while Frozen Yogurt Bark – a chilled delight with less than 100 calories per serving – helps you indulge without overdoing it. A diet that involves smart swaps like these may contribute to heart health, per the American Heart Association, by providing essential nutrients and supporting healthy blood pressure levels – meaning you're just a few ingredient substitutions away from enjoying a more nutritious, yet still delicious menu. These yogurt-inspired recipes were developed as part of the American Heart Association's Healthy for Good Eat Smart initiative, which is nationally supported by Danone.
