Computed tomography scanners in Germany 2008-2021

The number of computed tomography (CT) scanners in Germany increased by 50 scanners (+1.67 percent) in 2021 in comparison to the previous year. With 3,036 scanners, the number of CT scanners thereby reached its highest value in the observed period.
The computed tomography (short: CT) scanner can be described as a computerized x-ray machine. Instead of one single, fixed x-ray beam in the conventional x-ray machine, there is a motorized, rotating x-ray source which is processed by the machine's computer into cross-sectional images. These so-called 'slices' contain far more detailed information than conventional x-ray images.
