Brain MRI Scan Without Contrast
HCPCS 70551
Magnetic resonance (eg, proton) imaging, brain (including brain stem); without contrast material
AI EXPLANATION: A brain MRI without contrast is an outpatient diagnostic imaging test that uses strong magnetic fields and radio frequency waves to generate detailed, cross-sectional views of the brain and brainstem. It allows clinicians to evaluate soft brain tissues, neurological structures, and internal anatomy without ionizing radiation. Because the exam is performed without contrast material, no intravenous needle or contrast dye injection is required.
