Digitisation Sweeps Through European Radiography Markets - Frost & Sullivan Web Conference

LONDON, August 2, 2010 - Widespread capital freezes and financial shortcomings in the healthcare
industry have caused a significant decline in the number of Digital
Radiography (DR) and Computed Radiography (CR) purchases. One key challenge
faced by the industry has been the lack of capital available for technologies
which require high initial investments, such as digital solutions. However,
with the economy recovering and funds becoming available to potential buyers,
the unit shipment volume is expected to gain momentum in 2011.

Questions buzz about the topic: what factors are driving the growth of
digitisation in the healthcare industry? How will the implementation of
picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) spur demand for digital
radiography? In response to these questions and more, Frost & Sullivan has
organised a complimentary web conference to take place on Wednesday, 11th
August 2010, at 3 p.m. BST. Research Associate, Ms. Simone Carron, will give
an analysis of market opportunities, purchasing and technological trends, and
the importance of product attributes to end-users.

"DR systems continue to be out of reach for many small and private
imaging centres which lack the necessary budget to make the transition,"
explains Ms. Carron. "Digital solution providers should become attuned to the
needs of end-users by building a diverse product portfolio and offering
competitive pricing. It is essential for vendors to justify the high initial
investments of digital solutions with an emphasis on operational cost
savings."

This web conference will benefit Digital and Computed Radiography
vendors, component manufacturers, distributors and dealers by discussing
emerging trends and providing forward projections for the European Digital
and Computed Radiography Industry.
