Recently, the digital radiography sensor is gaining popularity among radiologists due to its convenient work, thus driving the market size. The rising investment companies, R&D activities in the healthcare sector, and government initiative plans are flourishing themarket.

The growing digital imaging technology with advanced features is increasing thedemand for digital radiography sensorfor excess use in recent times. Several studies by many radiologists and published by researchers in scientific papers show tremendous market potential.

Initially, the sensors seem too expensive to replace, but technological research has been a helping hand forthe market.Portable digital radiographycan completely replace CR systems in the market during the forecast period.

The players are focusing to build better sensor devices in developed countries such as the UK, the US, Germany and Canada by adopting new waves of technology. The healthcare manufacturers, with government initiatives, bring new products on a large scale in the market for the patient and are growing market expansion.

Digital radiography in literature and in practice are subcategorized on type of sensors into Computerized Radiography and Digital radiography. Digital radiography based on image conversion are two different types namely- Direct digital radiograph and Indirect digital radiograph.

Out of many traditional systems available for projecting radiographs, digital radiograph sensors are being used globally. Thus, digital radiography sensor market has taken over other traditional radiograph market since 1990s and the trend is still being followed. In US out of all radiological examinations carried out, radiographical examination accounts 70% in both children and adults, thus digital radiograph sensors market holds a large market size and share.

Digital Radiography Sensor Market: Drivers and Restraints

Exposure to harmful radiations in patients and radiologists is a major concern in imaging systems. It has been found that use of digital radiography sensors have reduced radiation exposure to about 20 to 80%. This has found to be a major driver in growth of the digital radiography sensor market.

More factors influencing digital radiography sensors market such as real time results in case of emergencies, user friendly, low cost of test, less exposure time to radiation, shorter scanning time and readily available portable systems. digital radiography sensor market is governed by high productivity, elimination of costly films, examination of more patients in less time and superior image quality with less background noise helps provide more accurate results.

Digital radiography sensors are popular amongst radiologists and thus indeed driving digital radiography sensor market.

The only restraint in digital radiography sensor market is high cost of digital radiography sensors hindering digital radiography sensor market growth in lower income or developing countries. Hence an affordable and readily available sensors are expected to completely out rule traditional radiography market by digital radiography sensor market.
