What is Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM)?

Contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) is an innovative method for breast imaging that contributes to the advancement of the detection of breast cancer. To offer information on the vascularity of lesions inside the breasts, digital mammography creates a full-field, contrast-enhanced, and high-resolution image. The method combines intravenous, low-osmolarity, iodinated contrast media with conventional, full-field digital mammography (FFDM). With the aid of MRI, it is challenging to find cancers in particularly dense and diverse breast tissue. With the use of a contrast agent, contrast-enhanced digital mammography emphasises the malignant area and makes cancer detection easier. Before taking the mammographic image in CEDM, an iodine-based contrast material is given intravenously into an arm vein. Two further images—one at low energy and one at high energy—are then taken. Details of the soft tissue and calcification can be seen in the low-energy image. The contrast-enhanced digital image created by subtracting these two photographs emphasises the neovascularity found inside the breasts. Because malignant tissues absorb more iodine than healthy tissues do, the contrast-enhanced image that results maximises the contrast agent’s visibility in the breasts. With almost 10 times the resolution of a typical breast MRI, this component makes lesions more visibly neovascular and more visible.

Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) Market Outlook

In the Global Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) report, the market outlook segment mainly includes important dynamics of the market which include drivers, restraints, opportunities and challenges tackled by the industry. Opportunities and challenges are extrinsic factors whereas, drivers and restraints are intrinsic factors of the market.

Due to a number of variables, the contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) market outlook is anticipated to grow in the next years. A contrast agent is added to digital mammography in CEDM, a relatively new imaging technique that enhances breast tissue visibility and may increase the diagnosis of breast cancer.

The rising incidence of breast cancer worldwide is a significant factor in market expansion. The most frequent disease in women is breast cancer, and early identification is essential for enhancing patient outcomes. In the detection of breast tumours that might not be detectable on conventional mammography, CEDM has demonstrated encouraging outcomes.

Additionally, the market is anticipated to rise as a result of the rising need for less invasive diagnostic treatments. A biopsy, which can be uncomfortable and has some dangers, is not necessary using the non-invasive imaging approach known as CEDM. With little discomfort for patients, CEDM can deliver crucial diagnostic information. Technology developments in imaging equipment, such as higher-resolution cameras and enhanced contrast agents, are further driving the market for CEDM. Breast cancer screening using CEDM may become even more precise and efficient as these technologies advance.

However, issues including high prices and restricted supply in some areas could affect the CEDM industry. Currently, CEDM is more expensive than conventional mammography, and in some circumstances, insurance may not cover it. Additionally, larger medical facilities or specialised clinics might be the only places where CEDM is offered.

Due to its potential to enhance breast cancer diagnosis and the rising need for minimally invasive diagnostic techniques, the outlook for the CEDM market is generally optimistic. However, the market can encounter issues with prices and supply in some areas.

Segment Analysis:

The Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market has been segmented into technique, application, end-user and region.

On the basis of technique, the Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market has been segmented into temporal subtraction and dual-energy CEDM. The Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market is dominated by the dual energy CEDM segment, and this trend is anticipated to hold during the forecast period. Compared to dual-energy CEDM, the temporal subtraction approach exhibits higher motion artefacts. Consequently, radiologists favour dual-energy CEDM for the diagnosis of breast cancer.

On the basis of application, the market for Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) has been segmented into screening and diagnostics.  A significant portion of the global Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market belonged to the diagnostics segment. The diagnostics market is expected to be driven by an increase in breast cancer cases and a greater emphasis on digital mammography. Clinical studies show that mammography has reduced mortality among screened women by 25% to 35%. During the projection period, the screening segment is anticipated to grow as women’s knowledge of routine screening to detect cancer before any symptoms appear increases.

On the basis of end-user, the Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market has been classified into hospitals, diagnostic centres, speciality clinics and others. The majority of the global Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market was controlled by the hospitals segment. The increase in hospitals worldwide is responsible for the segment’s growth. The most popular option and most beneficial setting for disease diagnosis and treatment are hospitals. As a result, the segment is anticipated to increase rapidly over the forecast period.

Geographical Analysis:

Based on geography the Global Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market has been segmented into five main regions namely, North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.

Due to the high prevalence and rising incidence of breast cancer in the United States and Canada, as well as the large number of medical device businesses in the U.S., North America is anticipated to have the largest proportion of the global Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market during the forecast period. According to the U.S. Breast Cancer Statistics, approximately 1 in 8 American women (or 12.4%) may acquire invasive breast cancer over their lifetime. In addition to 63,960 new instances of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer, around 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women were discovered in the United States in 2018. In North America, the market is anticipated to be driven by this. Another important explanation for North America’s significant market share of the world’s Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market in 2018 is the region’s easy access to CEDM systems.

In the coming years, the Asia Pacific Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) market is anticipated to expand quickly. Due to several steps done by commercial and public institutions to improve healthcare facilities in these countries, India, China, and South Korea are anticipated to be attractive markets in the near future.
