The data indicates a steady increase in the number of computed tomography (CT) scanner exams performed in hospitals in Denmark over the years, expressed in units (exams) per million persons. As of 2023, the value stood at 44.67 exams per million persons. From 2013 to 2018, the growth was relatively stagnant with some fluctuations, but from 2019 onwards, a more consistent upward trend is noticeable. In particular, the last two years (2022-2023) show a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 2.31%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years has been around 2.47%, reflecting moderate growth.
Projected data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a continued increase, albeit at a slightly slower pace with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 1.59% and a total growth rate of 8.21%. This indicates a continued demand for CT scanner exams in hospitals, though the growth rate is expected to decelerate.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in CT scanner technology, greater integration of AI in diagnostics, and changes in healthcare policy or population health needs in Denmark. Additionally, the impact of broader healthcare trends such as telemedicine and remote diagnostics may also influence future demand for in-hospital diagnostic services.
