7 Research Scope Product Inclusion The forecast in this study considers sales of new, general-purpose medical ultrasound imaging systems that are approved for human clinical use and commercially available within the indicated region. While included in some base year estimates, services and sales of upgrades, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging equipment, remarketed (i.e., pre-owned) imaging equipment, contrast media, dedicated veterinary or animal research equipment, and ultrasound-based diagnostic or therapeutic devices that do not produce images are not accounted for in this study s forecast. Regional Coverage Unless otherwise indicated, the estimates and forecast provided in this study only consider sales of products that are shipped to buyers within the United States. Time Period Study Period: Base Year: 2010 Forecast Period: CAGR Period:

8 Market Overview Definitions Unit Shipments Where unit shipment estimates and forecast are provided, a unit refers to a medical ultrasound imaging system that meets the criteria specified in the Research Scope slide of this research service. Unit shipment estimates and forecast only consider systems that are shipped for delivery as of the end of the year indicated. Thus, pre-shipment system sales and orders are not taken into account in unit shipment estimates or forecast. Unit Price and Weighted Average Selling Price (WASP) Selling price refers to the total purchase price of all equipment (i.e., main console, transducers, displays, data storage devices, and operating software) that is included at the original point of sale of a medical ultrasound imaging system. WASP estimates are weighted averages of estimated segment and/or competitor unit shipments for the year indicated. Revenue Revenue estimates are determined by calculating the product of unit shipments and WASP that is estimated or projected for the same year. 12

10 Market Background Medical ultrasound imaging equipment has been commercially available in the United States since the early 1960s. Ultrasound has become one of the most widely utilized medical imaging technologies in the United States, where it is currently used in over xxx million procedures each year. Despite the mature and well-established reputation of the medical ultrasound imaging equipment market, there is significant potential for growth in certain segments of the market due to the expanding range of clinical applications in ultrasound that is being enabled by new products and technologies. Source: National Institutes of Health (NIH) Historically, most users of medical ultrasound imaging equipment have been clinicians in the fields of radiology, cardiology, and obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) that use ultrasound primarily for diagnostic purposes. Over the last decade, however, the use of ultrasound for image guidance during interventional procedures and for applications in non-traditional areas such as emergency medicine and anesthesiology has become increasingly common. 14
