The number of positron emission tomography (PET) exams in U.S. hospitals has been stable, projected at 3.6 exams per thousand persons in 2024 and 2025. A modest increase to 3.7 exams in 2026 and 3.8 exams in 2027 and 2028 is anticipated. Compared to the actual figures from 2023, 2024 reflects no percentage change. However, an increment is expected thereafter, with the CAGR for 2024-2028 indicating slow but steady growth.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in PET technology that could alter examination frequencies.
- Increased adoption in clinical settings for broader diagnostic applications.
- Potential impacts of healthcare policies encouraging diagnostic imaging.
