Electricity Grid Carbon Intensity—Not Imaging Utilization—as the Primary Source of Variation in Greenhouse Gas Emissions for MRI and CT
Background. MRI- and CT-associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are determined not only by electricity consumption but also the carbon intensity of the power grid supplying such electricity, in turn reflecting local fuel mixtures.
