Global shipments of diagnostic displays will grow at a 5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2014 and 2018, according to a report from DisplaySearch, a subsidiary of IHS.
Although large high-resolution displays are increasingly in demand, 21.3-inch displays had a 67% share of unit shipments and a 65% share of revenues in the first half of 2014.
Displays with 6 to 10 megapixels and higher will become more prevalent as users shift from multiple screens to single-screen viewing, DisplaySearch found.

| No. of megapixels | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
| 6 | 18% | 4% | 4% | 4% |
| 8 | 46% | 27% | 22% | 20% |

![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
