Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from imaging procedure volumes by modality (mammography, CT, MRI, ultrasound and tomosynthesis studies) and the per-study or per-seat licensing prices vendors realize across hospitals, diagnostic centres and clinics. Installed-base counts for CAD-enabled workstations and cloud-hosted seats are combined with annual study throughput per site to arrive at a procedure-weighted revenue figure for each modality and end-use setting. That build is then checked against the disclosed imaging-informatics and diagnostics revenue lines reported by companies such as GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare and McKesson Corporation. Where the two diverge, the correction runs through the underlying unit or price assumption, typically per-study pricing or facility counts, not through the top-line figure itself.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target radiology department heads and PACS administrators who set purchasing criteria, procurement officers at hospital systems and diagnostic-centre chains who negotiate licensing terms, channel and integration partners who bundle the software with imaging hardware, and regulatory affairs staff who track clearance timelines for new algorithms. Sampling weights toward the United States and Western Europe, where CAD adoption and public disclosure are most mature, with additional coverage in Japan, China and South Korea to capture the pace of adoption in higher-volume, lower per-study-price settings. This mix is meant to surface both the pricing a vendor realizes and the budget cycle a buyer actually works within.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on FDA 510(k) clearance listings and CE marking registers for CAD and AI-based imaging software, national radiology-society screening-program guidelines for mammography and lung-cancer screening protocols, hospital procurement filings and tender records in markets that publish them, and customs and trade data for imaging workstation hardware. Public company filings from GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare and McKesson Corporation supply revenue and segment disclosures for the top-down check, and peer-reviewed radiology journals confirm which modalities and indications have documented clinical adoption of computer-aided diagnostics tools.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from expected growth in screening-program volumes, particularly lung and breast cancer screening, the pace at which regulatory clearances extend AI-based reading to new modalities, and a gradual shift in pricing from per-seat licenses toward subscription and cloud-hosted models. The historical base period includes a slower stretch tied to delayed elective imaging volumes, which is normalized out rather than carried forward as a trend. For the forecast to hold, screening-program funding needs to keep expanding at close to its recent pace and reimbursement policy for AI-assisted reads needs to keep pace with clearance activity instead of lagging behind it.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are checked against recorded procedure-volume growth in mammography and CT over the historical period, comparing the modeled trajectory to publicly reported screening-program throughput before extending it into the forecast. Segment-shift assumptions, including the move from a mammography-heavy mix toward increasing tomosynthesis and CT AI-detection share, are reviewed against publicly disclosed vendor product mixes and imaging-society position statements. Sensitivities were run on the pace of regulatory clearance and on the split between on-premise and cloud-hosted deployment, since the pricing gap between the two settings is the single assumption most capable of shifting the forecast total.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

The mammography and CT segments rest on the firmest ground, since procedure volumes and vendor clearance activity are well documented for both. The tomosynthesis and cloud-deployment figures carry more uncertainty: fewer vendors report installed-base or usage figures at that level, so the split relies more on adjacent proxies. A slower-than-expected pace of reimbursement policy catching up with AI-assisted reads, or a delay in extending clearances to lung and liver cancer indications, are the two developments most likely to force a revision to this estimate.
