Medical technology: computed tomography (CT) scanners in Austria 2002-2021

In 2021, the number of computed tomography (CT) scanners in Austria remained nearly unchanged at around 255 scanners. Still, the number of CT scanners reached its highest value in the observed period in 2021.
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.
