The computed tomography (CT) scans per million persons in Finnish hospitals saw a significant fluctuation over the past decade. From 2013 to 2017, the rate remained relatively stable with brief increases in 2016 and 2017. However, a sharp decline occurred in 2018, leading to a consistently downward trend through to 2023 where the value stood at 16.11 units per million persons. This represents a steady decline from the peak in 2017.

Year-on-year variations indicate a major drop in 2018, followed by smaller decreases and minor fluctuations in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) trends also reflect the downturn, with a notable dip in the past five years translating to a forecasted CAGR of -1.16% leading to 2028.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Advancements in medical imaging technologies and their integration into healthcare systems may influence demand.
Government policies and healthcare funding that could impact the affordability and availability of CT scans.
Potential changes in population health trends that could either increase or decrease the need for CT diagnostics.
