Abstract
The Canadian Medical Imaging Inventory (CMII) was created in 2015 to track, compare, and map trends over time related to the availability, distribution, technical specifications, and use of advanced imaging equipment in Canada. This is the fourth iteration of the CMII. The CMII collects data about availability and use of CT, MRI, PET-CT, PET-MRI, SPECT, and SPECT-CT through a survey conducted approximately once every 2 years and details the use of strategies for improving appropriate imaging, enhancing system efficiencies, reducing wait lists, and addressing other systemic challenges. Senior medical imaging decision-makers within health ministries and/or regional health authority located in each province and territory were consulted to validate unit and exam counts for consistency. Data are presented using descriptive summaries and graphs of site-level and jurisdiction-level findings. Canada’s ranking among from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries was reported. The number of units and exams in Canada was projected for the years 2025, 2030, 2035, and 2040 based on the per capita values in 2022–2023 and estimated population growth provided by Statistics Canada.
