Digital Mammography Segment is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share in the Asia-Pacifc Mammography Market
Digital mammography is a specialized and advanced form of mammography that uses digital receptors and computers instead of X-ray films to examine breast tissue for tumor presence. So far, conventional screen-film mammography (SFM) with high-spatial-resolution has been the preferred choice for screening programs in most countries. However, with the advent of digital mammography, an increasing number of countries are experiencing shifts toward these newer systems, due to their superior depiction of low-contrast objects, wider dynamic change, and improved diagnostic quality of images, especially when examining denser breasts. They also come with an added advantage of soft-copy image displays and soft-copy reading, which can be easily transferred. Mammography screening offers greater precision, better quality, and higher efficiency results. Thus, digital mammography is becoming the preferred choice of selection, even though the new technology cost is six times higher than the conventional systems. These factors are expected to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
