Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exams is the number of MRI medical imaging sessions to study body parts that yields one or more views for diagnostic purposes.
MRI is an imaging technique designed to visualise internal structures of the body using magnetic and electromagnetic fields which induce a resonance effect of hydrogen atoms. MRI exams help physicians diagnose a range of conditions by producing images of internal organs and structures of the body.
Hospitals are defined as establishments primarily engaged in providing medical, diagnostic, and treatment services to inpatients and the specialised accommodation services required by inpatients. Hospitals may also provide outpatient services as a secondary activity. Ambulatory care providers are primarily engaged in providing healthcare services to patients who do not require inpatient services.
The indicator is measured per 1 000 inhabitants of each country.
