Market Trends of Brazil Mammography Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Brazil Mammography Market according to our research experts:
Breast Tomosynthesis is Expected to Witness Healthy Growth Over the Forecast Period
Breast tomosynthesis, also known as Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)/3D mammography, is a new technology that helps in improving the radiologist's ability to diagnose breast cancer. These types of mammography use a series of two-dimensional images to build a three-dimensional image of the breast. The growing demand for advanced mammography systems in the country is increasing the launches and research on the same boosting the segment growth.
Rodrigo Rosa Giampietro, in the article, 'Accuracy and Effectiveness of Mammography versus Mammography and Tomosynthesis for Population-Based Breast Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,' published in 2020, stated that the use of DBT with digital or synthetic mammography for women attending population-based breast cancer screenings increases the rates of overall and invasive breast cancer detection.
B. Trapp, in the article, 'Brazilian experience on the use of digital breast tomosynthesis, allied to conventional mammography, as a strategy for breast cancer screening in Brazil: focusing on patients with dense breasts,' published in 2020, stated that DBT is an imaging modality with great potential benefits in the screening of breast cancer, especially in patients with dense breasts. Many studies like this have shown that the implementation of DBT as a screening method has allowed a greater detection of breast cancer, mainly by reducing the overlap of fibro glandular tissue.
The rapidly expanding economy is expected to drive the healthcare sector in Brazil, which in turn will supplement the segment growth.
