Driven by the digitalization of radiology departments, the need for higher resolution diagnostic images, and the widespread proliferation of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) in hospitals, the world market for digital radiography is projected to reach $844.2 million by the year 2010. The double-digit rise in the average number of radiology procedures performed by hospitals coupled with massive increases in volume of images-per-procedure, offer a lucrative business case for digital radiography (DR).
San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 28, 2008 -- The steady conversion of radiology departments from film-based radiography to digital radiography is spelling out attractive opportunities for digital radiography equipment installations. The aging world population induced parallel surge in the volume of image-based diagnostic procedures calls for quicker and faster imaging techniques, which offer compatibility with hospital networking systems. DR ranks as an integral component of every radiology department's workflow optimization strategy. Primary forces driving market acceptance and penetration of the DR technology include the compelling advantages offered in the form of a 50% to 85% reduction in patent exposure to radiation, increased patient throughputs, flexibility in image manipulation, and accurate and superior image capture, and better medical evaluations. Continuous technology developments, and refinements in digital imaging advantages offered, are resulting in the launch of newer, more compact and powerful equipment models. This is expected to kindle demand and encourage widespread adoption.
