According to a new market research report
"Breast Imaging Technologies Market (Digital
Mammography, 3D Breast Tomosynthesis, Breast MRI,
Breast Ultrasound, Molecular Breast Imaging,
Optical Imaging, PET/CT/PEM Modalities) -
Technology and Market Analysis Global Forecasts
to 2017" , is an attempt to showcase the market
impact of current and emerging breast imaging
technologies having excellent growth potential in
the coming five years. The technologies profiled
in the report are segmented into Ionizing breast
imaging modalities and Non-Ionizing breast
imaging technologies on basis of radiation.
Ionizing breast imaging modalities include
Mammography, 3D Breast Tomosynthesis, Cone beam
Computed Tomography (CBCT), Positron Emission
Mammography (PEM), Molecular Breast Imaging
(MBI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and
Breast Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI). The various
Non-ionizing modalities for breast screening
covered in the report are Breast MRI, Optical
Imaging, Breast thermography and Breast
Ultrasound. Browse gtgt 10

reports. Breast cancer is the second leading
cause of cancer-related death in women (after
lung cancer). Breast cancer strikes women of all
ages, races, ethnicities, socioeconomic strata
and geographical locales. Initial diagnosis and
staging are essential in determining the choice
of therapy, as well as a patients prognosis and
chances of survival. Therefore, breast imaging
procedures has a significant role in the
diagnosis and treatment of breast
cancer. Mammography is the touchstone technology
and is widely accepted for breast cancer
screening followed by breast MRI.  Digital
mammography comprises more than 45 percent of the
entire breast imaging market. However, owing to
its poor sensitivity, high false positives,
alternative technologies such as MRI, 3D breast
tomosynthesis, ultrasound and nuclear imaging are
attaining significance for the diagnosis of
breast cancer.

• However, physicians and healthcare providers are
  still reluctant to use breast MRI, primarily due
  to its high investment costs. However,new inroads
  are being designed providing a hope that, an
  inexpensive means of performing breast MRI may be
  imminent. These provide a glimpse into the
  enormous potential yet offered by this elegant
  technology.
• Another modality rising to the forefront is CBCT
  and whole breast ultrasound. These technologies
  continue to improve exponentially, with a few
  units now readily available in the market.
  Molecular breast imaging is another modality
  emerging as a possible supplemental screening
  tool for women with dense breasts. Another
  emerging technology which recently made its entry
  into market is the photo acoustic optical imaging
  technology is able to penetrate deeply into the
  breast, uses no radiation, and so is completely
  non-invasive. A major advantage of optical
  imaging and cone beam CT is patient comfort,
  because the breast is not compressed. In the
  future, it is likely that several of these
  modalities will gain widespread clinical
  acceptance and find specific roles in the
  diagnosis and monitoring of breast cancer.

This research analysis also provides detailed
information on breast imaging technological
advancements in breast cancer diagnosis based on
geography. The research report identifies and
evaluates key advancements of breast screening
modalities in development and approval stages.
Patent analysis, investor analysis and investment
opportunity evaluation along with multi-level
criteria technology benchmarking are assessed
within the breast imaging modalities. Strategic
recommendations for technology stakeholders are
elaborately discussed in this research service.
The global breast imaging market is poised to
grow at a CAGR of 15.37 from the year 2012
reaching approximately 5 billion by 2017.
America is the major market for breast imaging
equipments followed by Europe and they have been
driving the market significantly owing to rising
number of breast cancer cases across the
developed economies. Other than the mature
markets, emerging economies such as Asia-pacific
and Middle-East are the future drivers of breast
imaging market. However, one major downside to
the newer modalities is their cost in comparison
with conventional breast imaging. This, too, will
likely improve as the technology becomes more
available and reimbursements increase.
