DR sales continued to be strong in Asia and Europe, and the U.S. also showed signs of recovery. However, DR sales as a whole declined, partly due to the reaction to the consumption tax hike in Japan. In diagnostic ultrasound system, sales increased due to strong sales of new products for obstetrics in Japan and increased sales in Europe and North America. In Dec., we exhibited and introduced a Dynamic Digital Radiography Systems at Congress of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), which attracted attention. These high-value-added imaging have received favorable acclaim both in Japan and overseas, and we intend to link them to sales in the future. In Medical IT business unit, while PACS sales in Japan declined slightly from 2Q, we have acquired several new contracts in North America. In particular, subscription contracts for large-scale projects are expected to contribute to a stable revenue base in the future.
