X-rays are the basic diagnostic tools for many medical
specialties. They are usually used to view bones, organs, or tissues and are
essential in the diagnosis of tumors, infections, internal bleeding, and
injuries. X-rays are also used in many other aspects of medical science, such
as treating disease, tracking bone loss and weight loss, and verifying the
presence or absence of a disorder or condition. X-rays are very useful in many
situations in medicine and they are widely used in hospitals worldwide.
The growing demand for digital imaging technologies due to the
benefits offered by digital detectors is driving the market growth of X-ray
detectors. The advent of wireless X-ray detectors is again expected to foster
the market growth of the X-ray detectors. For instance, in August 2020, Waygate
Technologies (formerly GE Inspection Technologies), a world leader in
industrial inspection solutions, has launched two new portable X-ray detectors from their
digital X-ray family DXR to ensure the safety, quality, and productivity of
their customers’ complex products and processes. Moreover, expanding medical
tourism around the globe is further projected to propel the market growth of
digital detectors. Furthermore, an increasing number of mammography,
orthopedic, and cardiovascular procedures is further anticipated to augment
market growth. On the other hand, the high cost associated with the Digital
X-Ray systems is projected to hinder the market growth of the digital
detectors.
North America is expected to gain significant growth over the
forecast period and this is attributed to increasing healthcare spending and
the growing prevalence of various chronic diseases. Chronic diseases affect approximately 133
million Americans, representing more than 40% of the total population of this
country. By 2020, that number is projected to grow to an estimated 157 million,
with 81 million having multiple conditions. Around half of all adults have a
chronic condition, and approximately 8 percent of children ages 5 to 17 were
reported by their parents to have limited activities due to at least one
chronic disease or disability.
Key Developments:
1. In November
2020, Rigaku Corporation has announced the launch of the Rigaku HyPix-Arc 100°
curved photon counting (HPC) X-ray detector for single-crystal X-ray
diffraction applications.
2. In September
2020, AWS X-Ray announced the launch of in preview X-Ray Insights, which uses
anomaly detection to create actionable insights about any anomalies in an
application. This X-Ray Insights proactively identify issues signaled by
increases in the fault rate of an application.
3. In August
2020, Carestream Health Launches New Detector for Long-Length Digital
Radiography. This multi-sensor device captures high-resolution images in
seconds with a single exposure to reduce the dose.
