                QuickStats: Annual Percentage of Emergency Department Visits with Selected Imaging Tests Ordered or Provided — National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, United States, 2001–2010
                Weekly
                June 7, 2013 / 62(22);455
                  Abbreviations: CT = computed tomography; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.
                  * Separate estimates for MRIs and CTs are available only for the period 2005–2010. During that period, visits with only an MRI accounted for <4% of the combined CT/MRI category.
                  From 2001 to 2010, the percentage of emergency department visits with a CT or MRI test ordered or provided nearly tripled from 6% to 17%, and the percentage of visits with an ultrasound ordered or provided doubled from 2% to 4%. The percentage of emergency department visits with a radiograph ordered or provided did not change significantly. Throughout the period, the percentage of visits with a radiograph was higher than the percentage with a CT/MRI or ultrasound combined and remained steady at about 35%.
