Imaging Centers in North Carolina: 266 MRI and Radiology Centre Records
The September 2026 NPI file lists 266 imaging organisations in North Carolina: 70 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (17, or 6%, with the MRI-specific code) and 196 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia is the largest market with 45 records, followed by Raleigh-Cary (32), Greensboro-High Point (30) and Winston-Salem (23). 24 records sit outside the metro areas listed below or alone in a small area; they are listed on this page.
Price context: a single-region MRI in North Carolina runs $480 to $1,300 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $876 to $4,364 cash, median $1,883 against a median gross charge of $3,735, from 40 of the 47 North Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 80 in the state, files dated to September 2026. A further 4 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $5,781, and are not in that range. Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro all competitive; Duke and UNC are large systems.
