Include all Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines that are permanently at the property, which may include machines present in a mobile trailer if the mobile trailer is present for 10 or more months of the year.
If you are including a mobile MRI, then include its square footage in your property's Gross Floor Area (GFA).
Do not include any other imaging equipment (X-ray, CAT/CT Scan, PET Scan, Linear Accelerator (LINAC) etc.).
We collected and analyzed information on imaging equipment from the 2015 ASHE Survey (which the 2021 hospital score model is based on) but our analysis found only MRI density to have a significant impact on energy use intensity. Background research confirmed that MRIs use the greatest percentage of total energy of all imaging equipment.
