Utilization is less in a hospital, especially when you're measuring "active scanning time" and not all the time that you're really using a room. Hospitals also don't book scans so aggressively since someone might need a scan pronto- in an emergency, or near-emergency- and it can't be scheduled weeks in advance like you do in outpatient settings. Complex cases where you need anesthesia, especially, may involve a lot of mucking about before and after the "active scanning" period, where the room is being used, but the scanner is not actively scanning anyone. Also, paediatrics cases. Utilization is a lot higher in outpatient settings where you can line patients up and turn the room around in a few minutes.
