LONDON, March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical imaging has led to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous medical conditions in children and adults. There are many types of medical imaging procedures, each of which uses different technologies and techniques. Medical radiography (conventional x-ray, including mammography) is a term that covers several types of studies that require the visualization of the internal parts of the body using x-ray techniques.
This report, X-Ray: World Market Analysis, analyzes the current and potential world market for medical x-ray imaging systems. This report generally forecasts future growth to 2018. Market segments covered include the world, U.S., European, BRIC, and Japanese markets.
More than 240 million x-ray procedures are performed annually at hospitals and in doctors' offices in the U.S. Chest x-rays are the most commonly performed diagnostic x-ray examination, followed by abdomen, extremity and spinal scans. Film-based x-ray systems, which had a significant share of the market until the mid-2000s, have been largely replaced by digital systems.
