European PET Scanners in Hospitals and Ambulatory Health Care by Country

In 2023, Italy led Europe with 238 PET scanners in hospitals and ambulatory health care, followed by France at 220. The Netherlands showed moderate growth, while Spain, Poland, and Denmark reported changes between 1% to 4%. Romania and Norway witnessed significant increases in PET scanner availability, reflecting expanding health care infrastructure. Greece, Hungary, and Bulgaria displayed moderate growth, whereas countries like Slovenia, Estonia, and Lithuania remained unchanged from 2023. Ireland, Cyprus, Iceland, and Luxembourg retained minimal PET scanners, indicating limited market expansion there.

Future trends may involve increased investments in PET scanner technologies, driven by advancements in diagnostic techniques and demand for improved health care services. Southern and Eastern European countries could see the most growth due to rising investments in health infrastructure and technological adoption. Additionally, collaborations among European countries for resource-sharing and better health coverage might enhance PET scanner utilization in underrepresented regions.
