The density of Computed Tomography (CT) scanners in the Netherlands shows an overall upward trend from 2013 to 2028. In 2023, the density stood at 16.26 units per million persons. The year-on-year growth rate for 2022 was relatively modest at 0.69%, while 2023 saw a slight increase of 1.82%. The last five years exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.72%, highlighting stable growth in recent years.
