Computer-Aided Analysis of Breast MRI

California rates for HCPCS 0159T

Software analyzes the images from a breast MRI to pick out areas that may be abnormal and to measure how the contrast material washes into and out of them over time. A radiologist then reviews what the software found as part of interpreting the study. It is extra analysis performed on images taken during the breast MRI itself.
