The density of positron emission tomography (PET) scanners varies significantly across countries, with Denmark having the highest density at 9.21 units per million persons as of 2023. In contrast, Romania exhibits the lowest density at 0.27 units per million persons. Between 2022 and 2023, notable year-on-year increases were observed in Slovakia (8.64%) and Romania (12.47%), indicating a growing investment in PET infrastructure. Denmark, with a modest growth of 3.01%, remained at the top, while Bulgaria, with 5.22% growth, and Israel, with 7.98%, showed significant increases in PET density. The Czech Republic and Sweden also recorded significant expansions with 4.26% and 4.88% growth respectively.
Looking ahead, as technology advances and healthcare demand rises, countries with lower PET density, like Romania, Poland, and Slovakia, might experience accelerated growth in these infrastructures. The focus may shift towards reducing inequalities in scanner availability and embracing more advanced imaging technologies to bolster diagnostic capacities regionally.
