Countries that would require investment in PET-CT scanners to address selected six cancer.
| World Bank Country Income Group | # Countries with PET-CT scanner deficit | Procurement Investment needed | Posterior probability of no PET-CT service |
|---|---|---|---|
| HI | 10 | $26.44M | 9.87E-07 |
| UMI* | 25 | $61.03M | 6.79E-05 |
| LMI | 30 | $107.31M | 1.05E-03 |
| LI | 31 | $34.52M | 1.08E-03 |

Excluding China, as it differs significantly from other observations (e.g. China alone would require about 300 PET-CT scanners to cover the needs of cancer patients and the posterior probability of not having access to PET-CT service is 55%). These values skew the data for UMI countries.
