The European market for medical imaging display monitors produced revenue of $207.2 million in 2007, which is expected to climb to $520.4 million in 2014, according to market research firm Frost & Sullivan.
While diagnostic displays experienced slow growth in Europe in 2007 due to radiology PACS market saturation, favorable regulations mandating the sale of 5-megapixel displays for digital mammography have led to high-volume sales in several European countries, according to the San Antonio-based firm.
Increasing demand for clinical review display monitors from private practitioners has also contributed to very high growth rates for imaging displays, Frost & Sullivan said.
Other positive trends include a growing demand for color images in radiology's daily workflow, as well as a steady increase in PACS installations across cardiology departments, Frost & Sullivan said.

![Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
