Virginia rates for HCPCS 72159

A magnetic resonance study that maps the blood vessels supplying the spinal canal and the spinal cord inside it. It uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves rather than X-rays. It is used to look for an abnormal tangle of vessels, an interrupted blood supply, or the vessels feeding a growth near the cord.
