Objective: To analyse the configuration of CT, MRI and digital subtraction angiography(DSA) in second and third level hospitals of China. Methods: The data came from the baseline survey of medical service capability in China’s second and third level hospitals. Results: CT have a high coverage in both second and third level hospitals, but the coverage of MRI in second level hospitals was only 50% and the DSA was 20%. The average daily inspection per CT and MRI was both higher than the recognized number which recommended by the experts. In the third level hospitals, the average quantity and the number of patients need to be serviced of these large medical equipments were both higher than the second level hospitals. Conclusion: The coverage of MRI and DSA needs to be promoted, and the standard of average daily inspection per CT and MRI should be improved. Referral of the mild patients to primary hospitals is a good way to reduce the medical pressure of large hospitals, and can also increase the equipment utilization ratio in second level hospitals.
