Segmentation:
Based on technology Breast imaging is divided into Ionizing breast imaging and non-Ionizing breast imaging. The non-ionizing breast imaging segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR as compared with the ionizing imaging segment during the forecast period. Growth in this segment can be attributed to the advantages offered by non-ionizing breast imaging technologies such as the ability to better diagnose of breast lesions, anatomical details for diagnosis, and higher sensitivity to small breast lesions in women with dense breast tissues.
1) Ionizing Breast Imaging:
1.1) Mammography:
Mammography (also called mastography) is the process of using low-energy X-rays (usually around 30 kVp) to examine the human breast for diagnosis and screening. The goal of mammography is the early detection of breast cancer, typically through the detection of characteristic masses or microcalcifications.
1.1.1) Full-field Digital Mammography (FFDM): Digital mammography is a specialized form of mammography that uses digital receptors and computers instead of X-ray film to help examine breast tissue for breast cancer. The electrical signals can be read on computer screens, permitting more manipulation of images to allow radiologists to view the results more clearly. Digital mammography may be "spot view", for breast biopsy, or "full field" (FFDM) for screening.
1.1.2) 3D Breast Tomosynthesis: Digital breast tomosynthesis is used to check for breast cancer and other changes in the breast, such as abnormal lumps, cysts, or calcifications (calcium deposits). It may allow doctors to see breast tissue, including dense breast tissue, more clearly than with 2-D mammography. This may make breast tumors or other changes in the breast easier to find. Also called 3-D mammography and 3-dimensional mammography.
1.1.3) Analog Mammography: Analog mammography uses low-dose radiation that produces X-rays to detect tissue changes. It captures the X-ray beams on film cassettes, and the outcome is a film showing the breast from different angles, which can be examined on film or translated by a CR to a digital image.
1.2) Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT): PET-CT routinely is used to stage breast cancer, identify distant metastatic disease, and assess responsiveness to chemotherapy. PET-CT used in combination with intravenous radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracers can detect changes in cellular metabolism.
1.3) Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI): Molecular breast imaging is a test to look for signs of breast cancer. It uses a radioactive tracer and a special camera to make pictures of the breast tissue. During the molecular breast imaging exam, a small amount of radioactive tracer is injected into a vein in the patient’s arm.
1.4) Positron Emission Mammography (PEM): Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) is an imaging technique that is increasingly focused on imaging the chest instead of imaging the whole body. PEM is a nuclear medicine imaging modality used to detect or characterize breast cancer.
1.5) Cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT): Cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) is a revolutionary modality that will assist in overcoming the limitations of current imaging for dense breast tissue and overlapping structures. It also allows easy administration of contrast material for functional imaging.
2) Non-ionizing Breast Imaging:
2.1) Breast Ultrasound: Breast ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to look at the inside of the breasts. It can help healthcare providers find breast problems. It also lets healthcare providers see how well blood is flowing to areas in your breasts.
2.2) Breast MRI: MRI, used with mammography and breast ultrasound, can be a useful diagnostic tool. Recent research has found that MRI can locate some small breast lesions sometimes missed by mammography. It can also help detect breast cancer in women with breast implants and in younger women who tend to have dense breast tissue.
2.3) Automated Whole-breast Ultrasound (AWBU): Automated whole-breast ultrasound (AWBU) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to obtain volumetric ultrasound data of the entire breast.
2.4) Breast thermography: Breast thermography, or thermal imaging, is a noninvasive and painless test that doctors sometimes use to monitor for early breast changes that could indicate breast cancer. It works by detecting increases in temperature.
Thermography does not involve radiation. Instead, it uses an ultra-sensitive camera to produce high-resolution, infrared photographs, or heat images, of the breast.
2.5) Electric Impedance Tomography: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new non-invasive, mobile screening method that does not use ionizing radiation to the human breast; allows conducting a quantitative assessment of the images besides the visual interpretation.
2.6) Optical Imaging: Optical breast imaging is a novel imaging technique that uses near-infrared (NIR) light to assess the optical properties of tissue, and is expected to play an important role in breast cancer detection.
Based on End-user the breast imaging market is divided into Hospitals & Clinics, Specialty Centers, and Diagnostic Imaging Centers. The hospitals and clinics segment is expected to hold the largest market share. Well-equipped operating & diagnostic rooms, the presence of highly skilled healthcare professionals, ease of accessibility, and better health coverage from various private and group insurance companies are factors to drive this end-user segment.

There are various programs conducted by the government of various nations to remote awareness of the screening programs which help in the early detection of breast cancer and this is a major factor that will help in the growth of the market in the coming years.
Covid-19 impact:
Due to the outbreak of the Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19), hospitals have limited resources and staff, which led to major reason of delays in surgeries and other medical procedures.
In severely affected regions, the influx of COVID-19 patients requiring continuous monitoring and ventilation is increased rapidly, leading to the overloading of hospital systems and disrupting the routine treatment of cancer patients, whose conditions worsened due to delays in standard care.
Reduced visits due to patient concerns related to COVID-19 and sequestering of oncology medical staff have resulted in the replacement of outpatient visits with a telephone consultation. Furthermore, high rates of sickness among health workers due to COVID-19 dramatically reduced the availability of medical staff.
