Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 15 - Mississippi Department of Health › Part 8 - Office of Health Policy and Planning › Subpart 90 - Planning and Resource Development › Chapter 05 - Acute Care Facilities and Services Overview › Section 15-8-90-05-510 - Computed Tomographic (CT) Scanning › Section 15-8-90-05-510.01 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Current through June 25, 2024
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.
