Product
Stationary digital radiography systems are preferred in hospitals and diagnostic clinics due to their high image quality and reliability. Portable digital radiography systems are gaining popularity in remote areas or mobile healthcare units where mobility and convenience are essential.
Application
Cardiovascular imaging and chest imaging are the largest segments in the digital radiography market, driven by the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and respiratory conditions. Dental imaging and digital mammography are also key segments due to the rising demand for accurate and high-resolution images in diagnosing dental and breast-related conditions.
Technology
Direct digital radiography technology is increasingly being adopted for its quick image acquisition, high image quality, and radiation dose reduction. Computed digital radiography technology is also widely used in different healthcare settings for its affordability and ease of integration with existing systems.
Method
Computed radiography method involves the use of a photostimulable phosphor plate to capture X-ray images, while direct radiography method utilizes a digital detector to directly convert X-ray photons into electrical signals. Each method has its own benefits and limitations, which influence their adoption in different healthcare facilities.
End User
Diagnostic clinics, hospitals, and other end users such as research institutions and ambulatory care centers are major players in the digital radiography market. Diagnostic clinics often prefer compact and portable systems for their flexibility, while hospitals require larger and more advanced systems to cater to a wide range of imaging needs.
