Quantitative Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance (Quantitative mp-MR) (May 2022)
May 2022 pages 9-13 Quantitative Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance (Quantitative mp-MR) For the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) 2022 code set, two new Category III codes (0697T, 0698T) were established and two codes (0648T, 0649T) were revised to report quantitative multiparametric magnetic resonance (mp-MR) for analysis of tissue composition. This article provides an overview of these changes. Category III Codes 0648T Quantitative magnetic resonance for analysis of tissue composition (eg, fat, iron, water content), including multiparametric data acquisition, data preparation and transmission, interpretation and report, obtained without diagnostic MRI examination of the same anatomy (eg, organ, gland, tissue, target structure)...
