Medical and Graphic Imaging
While overseas medical imaging segment sales of digital
equipment and printing-use film were favorable, rising development expenses and sharply rising silver costs resulted in
lower earnings.
For the fiscal year ended March 2007, we worked in the medical segment to expand sales of digital related equipment and systems such
as the REGIUS series computed radiography systems and the DRYPRO series image output systems mainly to the worldwide hospital
market in response to the trend toward digital and networked systems in the diagnostic and health care workplace.
In addition to the large hospital market, we shifted our particular focus to the clinic market, where there is an increasing need for
primary diagnosis. In June 2007, we marketed a new computed radiography product called REGIUS110, a compact and easy-to-use
machine offering high picture quality and speed that is targeted at the general clinic market.
