Today analysts are valuing the Ultrasound Market in India to approximately ` 500 crore.

Digital radiology is one of the greatest technological advancements in medical imaging during the last decade. Enormous benefits are accrued from this technology. The use of radiographic films in x-ray imaging is on its way to becoming obsolete.

In addition, the patient can have the x ray images on a compact disk to take to another physician or hospital.
