Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic imaging technique that employs magnetic and radio-frequency fields to produce images of the body non-invasively. Magnetic resonance imaging is similar to CT scanning in that it produces cross-sectional and digital images without potentially harmful ionizing radiation, producing an image not distorted by bone mass. The equipment and its operational specifications continue to be refined.
Ninety (91) facilities (hospitals and free-standing) in Mississippi operated fixed or mobile based MRI units in FY 2020. These facilities performed a total of 253,198 MRI procedures during the year. Table 5-6 presents the location, type (fixed or mobile and number of units per facility), and utilization of MRI equipment throughout the state in fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
