In the first half of the fiscal year, in digital medical input equipment, we launched the cassette digital X-ray detector “AeroDR” and the desktop Computed Radiography (CR) “REGIUS Σ.” In the second half, we expanded the line-up with products such as Digital Radiography (DR) for medical rounds, and sequentially increased the sales area for medical institutions in Japan and overseas. We worked to increase sales, primarily of AeroDR in the hospital market and REGIUS Σ in the clinical market, and realized a year-on-year increase in the sales volume of digital equipment. We also robustly expanded the service solution business including maintenance services.

We worked to promote sales in China and other emerging markets, but the growing “filmless” trend continued in Japan and developed markets, and the sales volume declined year on year.
