I attempted to gather data on the number of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) procedures & Regadenoson usage in the UK but found limited information from the sources.

So, I would like to inquire about the following:

1. The number of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) procedures performed over the last 5 years, categorized by technique (e.g., SPECT, PET, CMR, etc.).
2. The percentage of these procedures that utilized pharmacological stress agents along with preferred agent by technique if available.
3. The total usage of Regadenoson injection (number of vials) by technique over the past 5 years.

Scope of my request: As a pharmaceutical company, we are currently conducting a comprehensive portfolio evaluation to identify new opportunities for product development and introduction into the UK market. We have identified the diagnostic sector, particularly the cardiac imaging segment, as a promising area due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease within the population. To better understand the market potential and make informed decisions, we require additional data and insights
