Imaging Centers in South Carolina: 175 MRI and Radiology Centre Records
The September 2026 NPI file lists 175 imaging organisations in South Carolina: 72 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (13, or 7%, with the MRI-specific code) and 103 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Greenville-Anderson-Greer is the largest market with 31 records, followed by Columbia (28), Charleston-North Charleston (26) and Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Port Royal (18). 7 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 South Carolina runs $470 to $1,250 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $893 to $3,288 cash, median $3,147 against a median gross charge of $4,475, from 19 of the 21 South Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 51 in the state, files dated to July 2026. A further 1 hospital publishes their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $445, and are not in that range. Charleston and Columbia have the most competitive networks.
