Domestic CT machine industry is in the cocoon chengdie legitimate

According to statistics, in recent years, China's medical imaging equipment market 14.77% average annual growth rate.

In 2009, our medical imaging equipment total installed capacity of more than 2.5 million units, including x-ray computer tomography (CT) machine installed in around 6800 desk has become the largest installation of medical imaging equipment. Face the world financial crisis, 2009 China CT machine export remains growth, CT's exports $ 2.32 million. Concern is, by the State health reform and update basic medical facilities, and other factors, county-level and below-level hospitals on CT equipment needs are significant growth trend. This piece of business opportunities in the market has already attracted some vendor's attention. This article briefly describes and analyses the situation of our CT machine industry, technological advances, market structure, advantage business status and development trend for readers to understand my CT industry briefings provide reference.

The 1970s, the United Kingdom scientists developed the first CT machine.

It was the advent of the scientific community recognized as medical imaging technology, a revolutionary milestone. Use of CT, the doctor can be clearly observed common x-ray machine to display the status of the body's soft tissue (e.g. cerebral hemorrhage), various small tumors, etc., making clinical diagnostic level has been significantly improved. The early 1980s, China Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, etc. larger city hospital introduced from abroad at CT, CT each import price millions or even a thousand million; in the 1990s, CT machine in the country for a certain promotion, at the same time, the advent of domestic CT machine; in recent years, China's scientific and technological personnel and the tireless efforts of the enterprises, domestic CT machine industry rapid development and growth, China has become further to the United States, Germany, Japan, the world's fourth largest CT machine producers and exporters.

"Foreign" momentum strong

China's enormous population base, hospital topped the world.

Subsequently, the invention of the spiral CT, CT technology makes a qualitative leap. Into the 21st century, CT machine market competition is increasingly heated, foreign CT production foothold for CT new products: Netherlands Philips company successfully developed the Spectral CT system (a photon counting measuring system). United States GE company launched the "speed of light CT570 HD CT". It was alleged that the Garnet is a new type of base material testing equipment with excellent optical properties, which clearly show the capillary blood flow in the brain. While the manufacturers of Japan, Germany is also actively developing their new CT machine.

These foreign manufacturers in the China market in search of CT to business opportunities.

Currently, the United States was established in GE's wholly-owned company in China — — General Electric (China) medical group in China's annual production has reached CT 1000 units, representing the company CT 1/3 of the total, accounted for about half of our CT machine market share. Whereas Germany Siemens CT machine produced by the company, with excellent quality and gradually occupied the Chinese high-end market CT machine. It is reported that Siemens CT machine at the 2009 National Hospital bidding in the bid rate for the first time exceeded the United States and Japan's three major GE CT machine manufacturers, thereby becoming China CT machine market, the biggest winners.

Chinese-made machine carry

In 1987, the Shanghai medical instruments company developed the first homemade whole body CT prototype — this is the prelude to CT localization.

But the real cause of the domestic CT machine is doing great Neusoft Corporation. The latter eventually become domestic CT machine industry leading enterprises.

Neusoft Corporation is a company specialized in software development company.

In the mid-1990s, Neusoft began developing CT software. In 1997, the company developed the first version of CT software Imaging speed to 58 seconds, far behind that of the average imports of CT Imaging time (15 seconds). Subsequently, Neusoft technicians on CT software constantly improved, eventually make their imaging speed reduced to 28 seconds, 18 seconds, 5 seconds, or even 1 seconds, which greatly exceeded the foreign competitors ' products, which makes the foreign manufacturers was very unexpected.

Neusoft medical by virtue of its advanced image processing technology developed for high performance CT machine and put into production.

In 1998, the company first 50 CT officially sold out on the market soon. This amazing performance order foreign peers felt great from the Chinese enterprises competitive pressure. Due to the quality of domestic CT machine is not low, relatively cheap, so as to force the import CT machine in China sales price plunges. Because device technology performance and after-sales service has very good support, many domestic County municipal hospitals select purchase Neusoft CT machine production.

Even more gratifying is that in recent years, with Shenzhen MINDRAY bio-medical electronics AG, Wuhan high-tech machinery equipment manufacturing co., Ltd., Shenzhen Ma SEPR medical technology development company, Hangzhou huayuan gamma medical device company, Tianjin Songhua electromechanical company, domestic enterprises joined the ranks of the CT machine production.

Their production ranges from single, double and multiple pieces of CT to spiral CT, CT machine market selling products.

It is encouraging to note that in recent years, China's independent development and production of CT machine has successfully opened up overseas markets.

It is reported that Shenyang Neusoft medical group production of spiral CT machine in 2003 by the United States FDA approval in the United States market. That year, the company exported to the United States 454-spiral CT, the total value of up to $ 5238. 2006 years, the company exports worth $ CT 6283 million.

As the domestic CT machine manufacturers continue to join us, we have become United States, Germany, Japan, the world's fourth largest CT machine producers and exporters.

According to statistics, in 2008, China's exports high CT 2.28 million. In 2009, while facing the world financial crisis, China's exports remained CT growth momentum, the total annual export CT machine 2.32 million, becoming the medical device industry growth highlights.

Continued growth in demand

According to statistics, our CT machine segment is 16 slice CT machine accounts for 40 per cent; 128 slice CT machine 26.67 percent; double CT accounted for 10 per cent; 6 CT 6.67 percent; 64-slice CT scanner 6.67 percent; other type CT machine totals approximately 10 per cent.

At present, China's three hospitals are basically equipped with CT machine, some hospitals have completed the upgrading of CT; and domestic only 38% of secondary hospitals equipped with CT; as regards the General level hospitals (especially rural hospitals), because of financial constraints and less configuration CT machine.

However, as the country's primary medical support in the field, which is expected to become in the last few years, medical imaging equipment purchase. And because domestic low-end CT machine performance and quality, and compared with imported products have the price advantage, they fight for the domestic multitudinous a secondary hospital orders, has strong competitiveness.
