The share of Canadian scientific publications in the top 10% of cited works within Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Imaging is set to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028, based on forecasts. In 2023, the share stood slightly below 11.57, reflecting Canada's strong research impact and momentum. Between 2024 and 2028, this share is expected to grow at a consistent, albeit modest, pace, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.56%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increased collaboration and cross-disciplinary research efforts could further elevate Canada's citation rankings.
- Technological advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning may drive new research innovations in imaging modalities.
- Government support and funding trends will significantly influence academic and clinical research outputs.
