In the field of medical imaging, Konica Minolta achieved prompt suc-
cess in the industry in the commercialization of its REGIUS MODEL
170 digital X-ray imaging system, which it developed in response to
the increasing use of digital and network technologies in hospitals,
and commenced sales in the previous fiscal year. Highly regarded in
the market for its sophistication, the system continued to attain strong
sales growth. In addition, boosted by solid hardware sales, dry film
sales were also strong.
In graphic imaging, Konica Minolta worked to expand film sales
in overseas markets with a focus on Asia. In Japan, to respond to the
ongoing market transition to filmless solutions, the Company is endeav-
oring to expand sales in the high-end market with its Digital Konsensus
Pro digital color proofing system, which is highly acclaimed for its
quality and sophistication.
