MRI Of The Pelvis With Contrast

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 72196

This is a magnetic resonance imaging scan of the pelvic organs and structures performed after an injection of contrast material into a vein, which highlights blood vessels and tissue detail that might not show up clearly otherwise. It's used to evaluate organs such as the bladder, reproductive organs, and surrounding soft tissue for masses, inflammation, or other abnormalities. The contrast injection distinguishes it from a plain pelvic scan done without dye.
