Arm MRI With Contrast

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 73219

This is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the arm, covering the bones, muscles, and soft tissue rather than a specific joint like the shoulder, elbow, or wrist. A contrast dye is injected into a vein before or during the scan to make certain tissues, such as tumors or areas of inflammation, show up more clearly. It is often used to evaluate soft-tissue masses, infections, or other abnormalities in the upper limb.
