The extended impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical imaging case volumes: a retrospective study
The COVID-19 pandemic initially led to a drop in the number of medical imaging procedures performed in 2020, with the most noticeable drop occurring during the early waves of the pandemic. However, this trend revealed a gradual recovery in the subsequent years, 2021 and 2022, as healthcare systems adapted, and pandemic-related restrictions were modified.
