Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d09d35/malaysian_computed)
has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Malaysian
Computed Radiography; Digital Radiography and Computer Aided Diagnosis
Market" to their offering.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Malaysian
Computed Radiography; Digital Radiography and Computer Aided Diagnosis
Market is an end-user study that comprises one-to-one interviews
with key opinion leaders, end users, and vendors, regionally. These
interviews have helped to gather relevant and updated insights on
varying levels of technology adoption, future trends, and industry
challenges in the computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DR),
and computer aided diagnosis (CAD) markets. Competitive structure and
analysis of market share, market participation, and end-user adoption
are formed using feedback from primary and secondary sources. It
presents market realities in terms of competitive factors, market
leadership, and levels of technology adoption that are distinctive to
the Malaysian CR, DR, and CAD markets. The latest insights are included
to support manufacturers of these systems in their decision making to
identify and prioritize opportunities in the markets.
The Malaysian Government has supported the advancement of its imaging
industry through initiatives such as telehealth with efforts to upgrade
radiographic equipment and medical facilities. Patient care is all set
to experience a quantum leap with the greater use of digital imaging
technology such as radiological information systems (RIS), picture
archiving and communications systems (PACS), and teleradiology. This
emerging focus on integrating clinical IT applications makes a case for
complementary DR technology, as it helps cut costs and improve quality
by replacing film-based systems. "DR technology seems most suited to
facilitate the shift from regular consultations to teleradiology and
teleconsultation networking," says the analyst of this research. "These
programs are expected to link all healthcare providers in order to offer
patients with enhanced access to healthcare products and services."
However, there is a lack of adequately competent or trained personnel to
operate these higher end technologies. This insufficient training has
restrained DR technology's adoption, as end users require substantial
guidance to navigate the steep learning curve from analogue to digital
solutions. Although practical training centers offer seminars and
workshops annually, more concerted efforts are required to instill
confidence in the users. The Ministry of Health has taken stock of this
situation and begun to organize regional training courses and vendor
applications training on DR. "This will better prepare the end users for
the nuances of a digital workflow within the imaging environment and
differentiate vendors in this highly competitive market," notes the
analyst.
Once the training issue is addressed, market participants can refocus on
some crucial elements of health technology such as patient safety,
availability of appropriate technology, and its accessibility.
Governments and insurance companies are likely to draft new
reimbursement coverage for the more sophisticated and expensive
technologies, which will give a huge thrust to their adoption and use by
hospitals and patients alike. Affordability will also play a role in the
uptake of imaging modalities such as CR. Providers of CR will feel
heartened by their market prospects, as public and private hospitals
increasingly realize the cost-benefit analysis of capture-recapture in
providing higher precision images with minimum effort. "Meanwhile, in
the case of CAD, its continued adoption for digital mammography as well
as higher replacement demand will nurture it in the early stages and
raise its prices over the long term," observes the analyst. "Its market
potential is further bolstered by the Ministry of Health's move to
commission upgrades of internal imaging technologies for screening
breast cancer."
