London, 13 July 2015 – Technavio has published a new report on the global mammography equipment market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of almost 10% from 2015-2019.
About the Report
The new Technavio report discusses the technological advances in mammography equipment, which has shifted from analog to digital imaging. Devices like 2D digital mammography helps detect breast cancer in women below 65 years of age, and with accuracy.
“The one disadvantage of 2D digital mammography is that it produces only a single flattened image of the breast, which in turn makes the detection of early-stage cancer difficult. In order to overcome this drawback, 3D digital mammography was developed,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of Technavio.
The latest report by Technavio also underlines commercially available CAD systems, which use computerized algorithms to identify regions of interest in digital mammographic images.
“The CAD software highlights the areas on the images that require further analysis. This has increased the detection rate of breast cancer,” adds Ghaus.
