Top imaging centers in the U.S. by MRI procedure volume

Medical imaging is a cornerstone of modern medicine. Key to the delivery of this technology are imaging centers. These centers – staffed by radiologists and medical imaging technologists – specialize in capturing and reading images through various modalities, from X-ray and ultrasound to CT scans and MRI scans.

Below, we’ve compiled a list of imaging centers in the U.S. ranked by percentage of MRI procedures in 2023. MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology that uses a powerful magnet and radio waves to create detailed 3-D images of organs, tissues, and the skeletal system for disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
