The global density of computed tomography (CT) scanners in hospitals varies significantly by country. As of 2023, Denmark leads with 43.94 units per million persons, followed by Iceland at 35.5 and Bulgaria at 33.64. Other notable figures include Italy at 28.1, the United States at 27.4, and Sweden at 25.19. Lower densities are observed in countries like France (11.23), Romania (14.25), and Slovakia (16.22). Year-on-year variations reveal growth in most countries, with Romania standing out at 11.23%. Conversely, the United States and France saw slight declines of 1.09% and 1.51%, respectively. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates gradual, steady changes in the density of CT scanners across different regions.
Future trends to watch include advancements in CT scanner technology, potential increases in healthcare funding, and strategic health infrastructure investments, especially in countries with lower current densities. Monitoring these trends will provide insights into how countries might close the gap in healthcare technology access.
