HCPCS 77049

Magnetic resonance imaging, breast, without and with contrast material(s), including computer-aided detection (CAD real-time lesion detection, characterization and pharmacokinetics) when performed; bilateral

AI EXPLANATION: A bilateral breast MRI is an imaging examination that uses powerful magnetic fields, radio waves, and computer technology to produce detailed cross-sectional pictures of both breasts. During the test, a special contrast dye is administered into a vein to highlight blood flow and soft tissue structures, helping doctors identify and closely evaluate areas of concern that may not be easily visible on standard mammograms or ultrasounds.
