The forecast for computed tomography exams in Canada suggests a steady increase from 10,240 exams per scanner in 2024 to 10,470 in 2028. Compared to 2023, this reflects a consistent upward trajectory. Year-on-year growth is subtle, with increments ranging from 0.59% to 0.58%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years is projected to be approximately 0.59% annually.
Future trends to watch involve technological advancements improving scanner efficiency and the rise in diagnostic imaging demand due to an aging population. Potential policy changes may impact healthcare access and thus the number of exams conducted.
