MRI-Guided Tissue Treatment Monitoring

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 77022

This covers the use of live MRI imaging to guide and monitor a procedure that destroys an area of abnormal tissue, such as a tumor, inside the body. The MRI lets the doctor see the treatment area in detail throughout the procedure and confirm the targeted tissue is being treated correctly while avoiding surrounding healthy structures. It is commonly used with treatments like freezing (cryoablation) or heat-based ablation of a mass in an organ such as the kidney or liver.
