Quantitative MRI of Tissue Composition

Montana rates for HCPCS 0648T

A magnetic resonance study that measures what the tissue of an organ is made of — for instance its fat, iron or water content — and reports those values as numbers. Several specialized image sequences are gathered, prepared and processed by software, then interpreted by a physician. It is carried out on its own, without a standard diagnostic scan of the same area at the same visit.
