MRI Of The Mid-Back Spine With Contrast

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 72147

An MRI scanner creates detailed images of the mid-back (thoracic) portion of the spine after contrast material is injected into a vein, which can highlight certain tissues, such as areas of inflammation or abnormal blood vessels, more clearly than a plain scan. It uses magnets and radio waves rather than radiation.
