Status and Future of China Digital mammography industry
Concluded speaking, there are far more than 8 domestic breast mammography system machine however, domestic brands of X-ray mammography machine started relatively late compared with International leading brands,especially on digital full filed mammography. In China,The promotion of mammography detection exam is still in the early development stage, especially promotion of awareness of breast cancer screening, clinical fit and so on, the import manufacturers are quite proactive compared with national domestic players. Many manufacturers started the R &D of X-ray mammography about 5-6 yeasr ago, but they showed a poor performance on the promotion of their products,being quite “low profile” . However, some of them are becoming stepping out of their peers, reducing gradully the gap between their international giants. Compared with international brands,they have obvious advantages on pricing and outstanding quality images with more experiences accumulated. Sinomdt is one of the representative who occupies he 1st place in domestic mammography market,and they is aiming to the high-end market,with 3D tomosynthesis models to be launched soon within short period in the future.
