The radiopharmaceuticals market, by type is broadly classified into two segments, namely, diagnostic and therapeutic radioisotopes. Radioisotopes in the diagnostic market are further categorized as SPECT and PET; while the therapeutic market is classified into beta emitters, brachytherapy isotopes, and alpha emitters. In 2015, the diagnostic segment is expected to account for the largest share of the North American nuclear medicine market, with the SPECT segment likely to account for the largest share of the diagnostic market. While, beta emitters is expected to account for the largest share of the therapeutic market in 2015.

The large share of the SPECT market can be attributed to growing cancer patient population, increasing preference for SPECT procedures, advances in SPECT radioisotopes, and cyclotron-based Tc-99m generation. The therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals market is further segmented into beta emitters, alpha emitters, and brachytherapy. In 2015, the beta emitters segment accounts for the largest share of the North American nuclear therapeutic medicine/radiopharmaceuticals market. The large share of beta emitters can be attributed to heavy funding for research on beta emitters, new therapeutic radioisotopes, and reimbursement policies in favor of using radiopharmaceuticals for cancer therapy.
