Chile: medical CT scanner density 2011-2017
The ratio of computed tomography (CT) scanners to inhabitants in Chile increased by 9.4 scanners per one million inhabitants (+63.56 percent) in 2017 in comparison to the previous year. With 24.21 scanners per one million inhabitants, the ratio of CT scanners to inhabitants thereby reached its highest value in the observed period. Notably, the ratio of CT scanners to inhabitants continuously increased over the last years.
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.
