Temporal Analysis of the Associations Between Radiological Imaging Prevalence and Life Expectancy at Birth and Mortality

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the temporal associations between radiological imaging prevalence and life expectancy at birth and mortality.

Methods

The study used the Türkiye Ministry of Health Statistics Yearbook, World Health Organization (WHO) and World Bank data to analyze radiological imaging counts, female life expectancy at birth, and female mortality levels for Turkey between 2015 and 2023. The widest date range from both datasets was selected for the analysis. Because the Ministry of Health Statistics provides the widest date range for radiological imaging as 2015–2023, the research dataset was limited to this date range.
