Advancements in technology and new launches of X-ray devices are expected to boost growth
of the X-ray market globally:
X-ray is an ancient medical imaging device, which with continuous innovation, is widely being
used for diagnosis and treatment purposes. Market players are developing innovative technology
that provide enhanced safety, improved image quality, and reduced dose technique for diagnosing
various diseases. This in turn, is expected to create high demand for X-ray systems. For instance, in
2015, Carestream Health launched DRX-Evolution Plus. The new device offers great flexibility in
high-ceiling rooms via an extended tube column as well as enhanced workflow and improved
visualization. In January 2017, GE Healthcare launched new Senographe Pristina mammography
system in the U.S. The device is designed to make breast screening more comfortable. In April
2017, Toshiba Medical launched new Aquilion Lightning Computed tomography (CT), which
provides high quality images and potentially helps with faster diagnosis. In October 2017, Siemens
Healthineers launched new Cios Spin, a mobile C-arm in the U.S. Cios Spin mobile arm provides
potential benefits as a design aid intra-operative 3D imaging during demanding procedure.
Moreover, with high generative power can scan the solid part of the body such as the hip and can
also scan more dense tissues in obese patients. Thus, advanced technology integrated with X-ray
systems is expected to boost growth of the X-ray market over the forecast period.
