What the Record Tells You

East Cooper Imaging, the trading name of Tenet Disc Imaging, INC., is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1136 Bowman Rd in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina 29464. CMS issued NPI 1578508230 on 18 June 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 6 June 2016. That was 10 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). The MRI-specific code means the organisation registered itself as a magnetic resonance imaging centre, the strongest signal the registry gives that a scanner is on site.

Mt Pleasant sits in the Charleston-North Charleston, SC metropolitan area (Charleston County), which has 26 imaging-centre records on the South Carolina side in the September 2026 file, 2 of them with the MRI code, out of 175 across South Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are South Carolina Radiology Group, LLC (0.5 miles, Mount Pleasant), Novant Health Interventional Imaging at East Cooper (0.5 miles, Mt Pleasant) and Carolina Imaging Specialists, LLC (0.6 miles, Mount Pleasant), with 2 more within 0.9 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our South Carolina freestanding-centre estimate is $470 to $1,250 for a typical single-region MRI. At South Carolina hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $893 to $3,288 for a brain MRI, median $3,147, 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (843) 881-0100 with the CPT code for your scan and ask for the self-pay rate, whether the radiologist's report is included, and the scanner's field strength.

Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in South Carolina: 19 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$470 to $1,250

Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$893 to $3,288

Median $3,147 cash 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.

Charleston and Columbia have the most competitive networks. The hospital figures are CPT 70551, brain MRI without contrast, taken from each hospital's own federal transparency file and attributed to the date that file carries. A further 1 hospital publishes a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $445; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).

What to ask when you call

The self-pay price for your exact CPT code (70551 brain, 72148 lumbar spine, 73221 or 73721 joint, without contrast), and whether the radiologist's report is included.
Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.
