Shoulder or Arm Joint MRI Scan Without Contrast
HCPCS 73221
Magnetic resonance (eg, proton) imaging, any joint of upper extremity; without contrast material(s)
AI EXPLANATION: An upper extremity joint magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a diagnostic test that creates detailed pictures of a joint in the arm, such as the shoulder, elbow, or wrist. The scan uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves rather than radiation to examine bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues. This particular exam is performed without contrast material, meaning no imaging dye is injected into your vein or joint.
