Computed Radiography (CR) Equipment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019

Computed radiography (CR) is an imaging technique that uses electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays. Computed radiography is a computer aided technique that uses irradiation process to produce three dimensional representations of scanned objects internally or externally. Computed radiography equipment is used in various applications such as medical facilities and industrial purpose. CR equipment comprises imaging plate that is made up of photostimulable phosphor. This plate is placed under body parts and then is exposed to electromagnetic irradiation such as X-ray. In addition, digital image can be enhanced in terms of brightness, filtration, contrast and zoom, by using variety of software applications. The market of computed radiography (CR) equipment is witnessing positive growth owing to emergence of novel digital imaging modalities by various key players. In addition, introduction of new equipment by various key players will drive the market growth. For example, Jones X-Ray, Inc. offers Vita LE CR System. This system is comparatively light weighted and designed specifically for small space environments. In addition, Konica Minolta, Inc. offers variety of computed radiography models like REGIUS Σâ…¡, REGIUS MODEL 210, REGIUS MODEL 190 and REGIUS MODEL 370. Thus, introduction of new products will increase the uptake of computed radiography equipment and hence supports the market growth. In addition, computed radiography reduces the time for imaging and optimize image quality which will further increase the acceptance of CR equipment and hence drives the market growth. Advancement in technologies in computed radiography equipment will drive the market growth. For example, Phillips Healthcare introduced PCR Eleva CosimaX. This equipment allows throughput up to 165 plates per hour. Additionally, this equipment is an ideal option for...
