Abstract

The total market for women' s health imaging systems, comprising breast imaging, obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN) ultrasound, bone densitometry, and computeraided detection (CAD) for breast imaging was valued at nearly $1,400 million in 2008.

This market was driven by the ongoing acquisition of more expensive technologies such as digital mammography systems and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment for access to improved clinical capabilities.
