Neck Spine MRI With Contrast

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 72142

This imaging study uses magnetic resonance imaging to create detailed pictures of the spinal canal and surrounding structures in the neck region, using an injected contrast material to make certain tissues, such as inflammation, tumors, or scar tissue, show up more clearly. It does not use radiation and is often ordered when the doctor needs a clearer picture than a plain MRI provides.
