2013 Report on the International Digital X-Ray Market DUBLIN, Ireland, December 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ng3z59/digital_xray) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Digital X-Ray Market - Includes Forecast to 2018" report to their offering. Analog X-ray systems, which had major share in the market until 2005, are being replaced by advanced technologies such as computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR). Advantages such as low dosage, better image quality, enhanced image storage, and immediate image analysis have made the latter more attractive over conventional analog systems. The availability of image detectors technologies like CCD, CMOS and flat panel detectors are being used to retrofit and convert the old existing analog X-ray units into CR and DR systems; this is driving the up-gradation of analog systems into digital. Hospital and diagnostic centers are continuously adapting to the change in technology to provide better services for their patients. Concerns over excess radiation exposure, poor image quality, time required, and requirement of large space has forced many to adopt and upgrade into digital X-ray systems. Advancement and adoption of digital image processing software and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) has enhanced the ability of technicians in providing accurate diagnosis and better service to their patients. 1 Introduction 1.1 Key Take Aways 1.2 Report Scope & Segmentation 1.3 Research Methodology 1.4 Key Data Points From Secondary & Primary Resources 1.5 Assumptions 3 Technology Snapshot 3.1 Technology Overview (Introduction, Evolution & Technology Segmentation) 3.2 Differences Between Digital X-Rays And Analog System 3.3 Technology Trends - Overview 3.4 Commercially Available Digital X-Rays Products 4 Value Chain Analysis 4.1 Value Chain Analysis - Overview 4.2 Value Chain Analysis - By Porter'S Five Forces Model 5 Market Landscape Analysis 5.1 Global Digital X-Ray Market Segmentation 5.2 Global Digital X-Ray Market - Overview 5.3 Market Dynamics - Overview 5.4 Global Digital X-Ray Market - By Type 5.5 Cr/Dr Market, By Major Product Segments 5.6 Cr/Dr Market, By Application 5.7 Global Impact Of Digital X-Ray Systems 5.8 Market Share Analysis Of Key Players 6 Technology Adoption & Development Potential - Based On Geography 6.1 Geographic Adoption And Development Potential - Overview 6.2 Technology Adoption & Development - North America: U.S. & Canada 6.3 Technology Adoption & Development - Europe: U.K., Germany, France, Italy & Spain 6.4 Technology Adoption & Development - Asia: China, Japan & India 6.5 Technology Adoption & Development - Row: Australia, Russia & Brazil 6.6 Regions With High And Medium Adoption Of Digital X-Rays 7 Regulatory Landscape Analysis80- 7.1 Regulatory Landscape Analysis - Overview 7.2 Regulatory Landscape Analysis - By Region, North America, Europe And Rest Of The World 7.3 Regulatory Landscape Analysis - By Country 8 Competitive Landscape Analysis 8.1 Competitive Landscape - Overview 8.2 Key Product Launches (2010 - 2013) 8.3 Key Mergers & Acquisitions (2010 - 2013) 8.4 Key Partnerships/Collaborations/Agreements (2010 - 2013) 9 Patent Analysis 9.1 Patent Analysis (2008 - 2012) 10 Key Company Profiles 3disc Americas, Inc.
