Frost and Sullivan’s Latest U.S. CR-DR Market Report Cites Carestream Health’s Significant Increase In Market Share

Carestream Health Recognized for High Market Share in CR; Company’s DR Efforts Driving Increased Overall Market Presence

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 28 — Frost & Sullivan’s recently issued research report on the U.S. digital and computed radiography markets identifies Carestream Health, Inc., as significantly increasing its overall presence in the total CR/DR marketplace for the U.S.
Frost & Sullivan provides independent market research services featuring quantitative and qualitative research on markets, industries and companies. In its recent analysis of the U.S. CR/DR market, Frost & Sullivan explains the company’s success: “Together with their consistently high market shares in the CR segment of the market, their recent efforts in DR have brought a significant increase to their overall performance in the total DR/CR market.”

Carestream Health offers a broad portfolio of CR and DR systems that equips hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, orthopedic practices and other healthcare providers with digital image capture for patient x-ray exams.

“Customer response to our wireless detector—the DRX-1 system—has been outstanding. Healthcare providers are seeing tremendous value in being able to upgrade an existing x-ray room to DR technology without the need to retrofit existing x-ray equipment,” said Diana L. Nole, President, Digital Medical Solutions, Carestream Health. “In addition, we are seeing that our DRX-Evolution system—which features our DRX-1 technology at its heart and makes it possible to take a “step by step” approach to a fully-featured single- or dual-detector DR suite—is really turning heads in the marketplace.”

Carestream Health frequently bundles its DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Systems with CR/DR systems to enable healthcare providers to print diagnostic images onto film for diagnosis, image sharing and archiving. These affordable laser imagers offer output from PACS, CT, MRI, computed radiography and digital radiography systems, and other grayscale imaging applications.
