Contrast Injection for Ankle Imaging

Alabama rates for HCPCS 27648

This procedure injects contrast dye directly into the ankle joint so that its internal structures, such as the joint lining and ligaments, can be more clearly seen on X-ray images taken afterward. A needle is guided into the joint space, often with imaging guidance, before the dye is injected. It is typically done to help diagnose ligament tears, cartilage damage, or other internal joint problems that are hard to see on a plain X-ray.
