Technologies in the medical imaging systems market are product-specific. Those associated with X-ray devices include computed radiography, digital radiography, and analog systems. Computed radiography led the market with 36.7% shares in 2013. This was attributed to reduced training costs in hospitals and clinics.
Demand for digital radiography due to its fast image acquisition and easy storage is anticipated to grow at 5.8% CAGR in the future. Technologies associated with ultrasound systems comprise Doppler, HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound), lithotripsy, 2D, 3D, and 4D. 2D dominated the market with 48% shares in 2013. But 3D & 4D could substitute 2D and grow at 10.7% CAGR in the six years ahead.
North America led the market in 2013 with more than 32% shares. This was owing to its sophisticated medical infrastructure. Asia Pacific is predicted to witness 7.5% CAGR over the forecast period. Notable players in the global medical imaging systems market encompass Toshiba Medical Systems, GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, and Shimadzu Corporation.
