MRI of an Arm Joint, Without Contrast

Montana rates for HCPCS 73221

A detailed imaging exam of a joint in the arm, such as the shoulder, elbow, or wrist, using magnetic fields and radio waves rather than radiation, performed without contrast dye. It gives a clear view of ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and other soft tissue around the joint that an X-ray cannot show. It's commonly used to evaluate joint pain, suspected tears, or other soft-tissue injuries.
