Based on the historical data, the computed tomography (CT) exams in hospitals per thousand persons in Denmark have shown a notable increase from 141.9 in 2013 to 215.4 in 2023. The year-on-year growth rate has generally declined over the period, from a high of 9.07% in 2013 to 3.01% in 2023.

Looking ahead, from 2024 to 2028, the forecast predicts a moderate increase in CT exams per thousand persons, rising to 245.1 by 2028. The forecasted five-year CAGR is 2.04%, reflecting a slowdown in growth rate with a total forecasted growth of 10.6% over this period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advances in medical imaging technology which may influence the adoption and frequency of CT exams.
- Changes in healthcare policies and funding in Denmark which could impact healthcare utilization.
- The aging population, which typically requires more medical imaging, potentially increasing the demand for CT exams.
- Potential impacts from healthcare digitization and the shift towards preventive care.
