Shoulder Joint Contrast Injection (X-ray or MRI/CT)

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 23350

A doctor injects a contrast dye or other fluid directly into the shoulder joint using a thin needle, usually guided by live X-ray. This step is done right before an arthrogram, MRI, or CT scan so the joint's cartilage, ligaments, and lining show up more clearly on the images. It is typically used to look for tears in the rotator cuff or labrum, or other joint problems that a plain scan might miss.
