According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the North America PET-CT Scanning Services Market is anticipated to reach USD 11.56 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.64% from 2025 to 2035. The primary drivers of the market are the rising prevalence of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, technological advancements in imaging systems, and growing demand for early and accurate diagnostics.

Market Overview

The North America PET-CT Scanning Services Market Size refers to the healthcare industry that provides advanced diagnostic imaging by integrating positron emission tomography (PET), which measures metabolic activity, and computed tomography (CT), which measures anatomical detail. This integration allows for the very accurate identification, staging, and monitoring of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular problems, and neurological disorders. Moreover, the North American PET-CT scanning services market is steadily expanding as healthcare systems prioritize early and accurate disease detection, notably for cancer, cardiovascular problems, and neurological conditions. The demand is primarily driven by increased cancer incidence in North America, developing hybrid imaging applications in precision medicine, and increasing clinicians' desire for integrated metabolic and anatomical imaging to improve diagnostic accuracy. Digital pet, AI-enabled image reconstruction, and low-dose CT are examples of technological breakthroughs that improve scan quality and operating efficiency, boosting market penetration. Furthermore, the move to outpatient imaging centers, expanded payment assistance in developed countries, and increased investment in diagnostic infrastructure in emerging economies are improving service availability. In addition, providers are increasingly using AI-enabled PET-CT platforms to help radiologists detect early-stage cancers, cardiovascular abnormalities, and neurodegenerative conditions more accurately by automatically analyzing metabolic and anatomical data, identifying subtle lesion characteristics, and reducing interpretation variability.

Algernon Health has secured CAD $4 million in financing to establish four brain-focused PET scan clinics across the United States, aimed at advancing early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. By specializing in neuroimaging, the company is positioning itself to serve the growing demand for precision diagnostics in line with the expanding market for new Alzheimer’s treatments, reflecting both investor confidence and the rising importance of early intervention in neurodegenerative care.

Market segmentation

The North America PET-CT scanning services market share is classified into service type and distribution channel.

• The standalone PET-CT scanning services segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The North America PET-CT scanning services market is divided by type of service into standalone PET-CT scanning services, onsite PET-CT scanning services, mobile PET-CT scanning services, and others. Among these, the standalone PET-CT scanning services segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven by independent diagnostic centers that specialize solely in PET-CT imaging, frequently treating oncology patients referred by hospitals. These facilities offer concentrated expertise, faster scheduling, and the ability to handle large patient loads, but they are also challenged by the significant investment necessary for modern technology and the intricate supply chains required for radiopharmaceuticals.

• The direct segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period.

The North America PET-CT scanning services market is segmented by distribution channel into direct, indirect, and others. Among these, the direct segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period. This is the dominant segment because hospitals, diagnostic centers, and specialized imaging clinics are where patients are typically referred by physicians and undergo scans within the same healthcare network. This model dominates the market since most PET-CT procedures are closely linked to oncology, cardiology, and neurology care that rely on hospital-based or specialist-led imaging, providing seamless integration with treatment plans and smoother reimbursement processes.
