This is about the equipment available?
Using the principle of 'say what it is' ...
medical_equipment=MRI ??? Assuming the tag is for equipment.
Calling the key health_amenity:type "in use" is a stretch - 40 uses ..
and most of these are for first aid kits!
The next most popular is "scales".
Fist aid kits have the tag emergency=first_aid_kit ... which is more
popular (170) despite it being a "draft".
No, I don't think is is "in use" nor has it been used in a sensible way.
Probably because "type" can mean anything.
health_facility:type has the same problem, despite being more popular,
uses are for
dispensary
office
clinic
hospital
etc

Hi Mark,
I agree with your choice to specifiy which service are available in a
given facility.
This doesn't require to add :type in the name of the key. Such suffixe
don't bring any information.
Your proposal would be way better if you use health_amenit=MRI at
least instead
All the best

The intention of the tag is to specify physical equipment
(health_amenity:type=MRI) and should be used in conjunction with
amenity=clinic to show that the health facility contains that
specialised equipment. This will enable mappers say that "this
clinic contains an MRI"

4) health_amenity:type
I think the key "healthcare" should be used instead of the new key
health_amenity:type". If it's necessary to tag an MRI facility
separately, then create a tag like "healthcare=mri".
However, it may be more useful to use a tag like "mri=yes" on the
main amenity=hospital or the radiology department within the
medical
centre - this tag would let mappers say that "this hospital
contains
an MRI" without requiring mappers to precisely locate the MRI
equipment within the building. This would also make it easier for
database users: they can just check for "amenity=hospital" +
"mri=yes"
rather than doing a spacial query to find MRI nodes within or
near an
amenity=hospital feature
