COVID-19 and CT Scans: The Global Backlog, Rebound, and Implications
Elad Walach, Aidoc chief executive officer, discusses recent research into global CT imaging volume fluctuations and how providers should view that data.
CT imaging volumes are on the rebound globally, with Europe staying a week or two ahead of the United States. According to recently gathered and analyzed data, practices in the United States have already bounced back to 95 percent-to-97 percent of their pre-COVID-19 levels, and parts of Europe have already outpaced their pre-pandemic volumes. Some of the most significant changes in volume have been seen with stroke and pulmonary embolism images.
