The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for 2024-2028 is roughly 1.84%, indicating consistent upward movement in CT exam volumes.
Future trends to watch:
- Advancements in CT technology enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
- Possible impacts of healthcare policy changes on imaging services demand.
- Increased utilization due to aging populations and chronic disease prevalence.
