In 2023, the number of computed tomography scanners in hospitals in Germany was at a certain level, and the forecast for 2024 shows a slight decline to 51.5 per thousand. Over the subsequent years, a gradual decrease is observed, with a value of 50.37 expected by 2028. This demonstrates a steady year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.5% annually between 2024 and 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in imaging technology that could alter demand for traditional CT scanners.
Healthcare policy changes that may influence investment in medical imaging devices.
Impact of digital health solutions and AI on the use of CT imaging in hospitals.
