be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 4 figures, never sentences; 98 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per imaging centre per exam per contrast state, from the centre's own published self-pay list, joined to the hospital discounted-cash-price for the same CPT code taken from that hospital's 45 CFR 180 machine-readable file: the freestanding-versus-hospital gap per metro, the count of centres publishing a list at all, and the spread within one city - a comparison the price-transparency files make possible and nobody assembles for a patient", "embed": "
