This is data from a hospital. In the U.S. at least, a lot of MRI scans are done in outpatient centers, scheduled well in advance, and so utilization can be much higher. This would certainly be true of prophylactic scans.
- ChrisLomont 7y agoThe utilization could also be much lower. If not enough people need to sign up for each and every day, then it will not be full. It's extremely unlikely the needs in a region match the capacity anywhere near 100%. Such a tight capacity would result in many problems, so reasonable planning would have excess capacity to deal with busy seasons/holidays/weekends/etc. Just like the hospital case, things like this likely follow a Poisson distribution, and it is therefore reasonable to assume similar usage patterns. Have a link with data for your claim? I looked and found none.
