Market Trends of Industrial Direct Radiography Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Industrial Direct Radiography Market according to our research experts:
Healthcare to Witness the Highest Growth
- There are many benefits of direct radiography to the healthcare industry. The physician can view the image on his mobile device and the same can be seen simultaneously by physicians who are kilometers apart.
- The American Dental Association has developed recommendations for dental radiographic examinations in partnership with FDA for strengthening the dentist's judgment. ADA has also collaborated with more than 80 health care organizations to promote Image Gently, an initiative to “child-size” radiographic examination of children in medicine and dentistry.
- Three healthcare systems across the United States selected Fujifilm's Digital Radiography Solutions for enhancing imaging capabilities and patient outcomes in April 2018. This signifies an increasing trend of healthcare facilities towards adoption of digital radiography.
- To remain competitive, players are coming out with offerings and innovations which are changing the market landscape. In April 2019, Samsung's new image post-processing engine (IPE), S-Vue 3.02, received FDA clearance. The software is a part of the company's digital radiography (DR) machines – GC85A and GM85 which lowers the dose of digital radiography while producing the same image quality.
