Low Dose Imaging and Large Area Detection: Latest Innovations in X-Ray Imaging

X-ray imaging has become one of the most popular and convenient methods for studying the inside structures of the human body over the last few years. As the X-ray beams are passed through the body, they get absorbed in varying amounts, depending on the density of the structure that they pass through. While extremely dense materials such as metal and bone are displayed in white color, less dense elements such as muscle and fat show up as shades of gray.

On the other hand, the air in our lungs appear as black. With the growing popularity of X-ray imaging across the world, medical researchers are conducting extensive research and development (R&D) activities for the development of highly advanced X-ray imaging. Moreover, rapid technological advancements and innovations in X-ray imaging have resulted in the development of mobile and digital X-ray system and affordable digital X-ray imaging systems, that have the ability to store and interpret diagnostic images in digital signals.

Besides the aforementioned factors, the rising incidence of diseases and the growing implementation of several government and non-government initiatives in many countries are also propelling the development of affordable X-ray imaging systems across the world. This is subsequently pushing up the sales of these systems, which is, in turn, causing the expansion of the global X-ray imaging market. As per the estimates of P&S Intelligence, a market research firm, the market would progress substantially in the coming years.

There are mainly two types of X-ray imaging systems used all over the world namely portable and stationary. Between these, the demand for the stationary X-ray imaging systems was found to be higher in the years gone by. However, in the forthcoming years, the sales of the portable X-ray imaging systems are predicted to rise at a faster rate throughout the globe. Globally, the North American X-ray imaging market was the most prosperous one in the past.

This was because of the high healthcare expenditure, the presence of a large geriatric population and excellent healthcare facilities and infrastructure, and the high occurrence rate of chronic diseases in the regional countries. Additionally, the population of geriatric people is increasing rapidly in North America. This is boosting the prevalence of various diseases, which is, in turn, fueling the surge in the demand for X-ray imaging systems in the region.
