The global Phosphor Screen Scanner Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 250.0 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Phosphor screen scanners are medical imaging devices used for digital scanning and archiving of phosphor screens used in radiography and fluoroscopy. They provide advantages such as digitalization of images, integration with hospital information systems for easy access and storage of patient reports. Phosphor screen scanners eliminate chemical processing needs associated with conventional film based radiography.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the phosphor screen scanner market is the transition from analog to digital radiography. Previously, X-ray images were captured on films but modern phosphor screens can directly capture digital images. This digitalization of phosphor screens allows for streamlined workflows, easy sharing of scans over networks, and eliminates costs associated with film processing chemicals. Digital radiography also improves imaging quality through techniques like denoising and contrast enhancement compared to conventional films. This shift towards digital technology is expected to drive the demand for phosphor screen scanners over the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The global phosphor screen scanner market is dominated by the medical diagnostics sub segment. Phosphor screen scanners are widely used in digital X-ray imaging applications in medical diagnostics due to the high sensitivity and dynamic range provided by the phosphor screens in capturing X-ray images. Phosphor screen scanners provide faster scanning and high resolution imaging compared to traditional film-based methods, enabling improved diagnosis.
Key Takeaways
The global Phosphor Screen Scanner Market is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period, due to increasing demand for digital radiography systems from hospitals and diagnostic centers.
