Temporary Price Reduction: Was $1995, Now $499. The medical imaging industry is in transition, as it moves from analog to digital imaging processes. How will it be impacted by this new development, and how will the new technology impact X-ray film consumption? Where will medical film manufacturers and other companies involved in film processing gain or lose market share? Lyra Research's analytical report, Medical and Dental X-Ray Film: Demand Trends in Worldwide Markets, provides the industry with a five-year outlook of worldwide medical and dental X-ray film consumption in North America, the European Union, Asia, and the rest-of-the-world region. The report determines that use of dry-processed film will increase relative to wet and that the industry will ultimately see a gradual elimination of film usage. The report finds that, over the next several years, the amount of film used in medical X-rays will increase along with the number of procedures, and the type of film processing will change. The report also finds that more than one-fourth of all the medical X-ray film consumed in North America will be dry film and, in 2005, almost one-third of the film will be dry (see chart).
