The forecast for computed tomography (CT) scanners in hospitals in Spain shows a consistent decline in usage from 2024 to 2028. The number of persons per thousand using CT scanners is projected to decrease from 51.12 in 2024 to 45.85 in 2028. This trend reflects a year-on-year decline, with a noticeable reduction each subsequent year. The year-on-year percentage variation highlights a decrement trend. Comparatively, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years underscores an average annual decrease.
Despite the downward trend in CT scanner usage, future trends to watch include advances in medical imaging technology, potential policy changes in healthcare, and improvements in diagnostic methodologies which may influence these projections. Additionally, shifts in population health and demographics could impact future demand for CT scans in hospitals.
