The minimum service volume of a mobile unit shall be prorated on a site-by-site basis reflecting the amount of time that proposed mobile units will be used, and existing mobile units have been used, during the relevant reporting period, at each site using the following formula: | Required full-time minimum service volume | X | Number of days the service will be on site each week | X 0.2 = | Prorated minimum services volume (not to exceed the required full-time minimum service volume) |

The average annual utilization of existing and approved CT, MRI, PET, lithotripsy, and catheterization services in a health planning district shall be calculated for such services as follows: | ( | Total volume of all units of the relevant service in the reporting period | ) X 100 = % Average Utilization |
