MRI Of The Arm, Without Contrast

Maryland rates for HCPCS 73218

This MRI scan images the soft tissue and bone of the arm itself, rather than a specific joint like the shoulder, elbow, or wrist, and is performed without an intravenous contrast injection. It can help evaluate muscle, tendon, nerve, or bone abnormalities along the length of the upper limb, such as a soft tissue mass or unexplained pain or swelling. Because it targets the arm generally rather than a joint, it differs from the more commonly ordered joint-specific MRI scans.
