ICD-10-PCS BR3 Imaging: Axial Skeleton, Except Skull and Facial Bones Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (BR3) refers to producing detailed images of body structures using magnetic resonance technology. This imaging technique is part of the Imaging section, focusing on diagnosing conditions by visualizing internal anatomy without invasive procedures.

This operation covers a range of body parts within the axial skeleton, excluding the skull and facial bones. For example, codes like BR30ZZZ specify MRI of the Cervical Spine, while BR31ZZZ and BR32ZZZ represent MRI of the Cervical Disc(s) and Thoracic Disc(s), respectively. Additionally, MRIs of the Pelvis (BR3CZZZ) and Sacrum and Coccyx (BR3FZZZ) are included. Some codes also denote the use of contrast agents, either unenhanced or enhanced, to improve image clarity, such as BR30Y0Z for cervical spine MRI with other contrast. These distinctions enable precise documentation of MRI procedures tailored to specific anatomical sites and imaging techniques.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BR3 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radio frequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field). There are a total of 25 procedure codes in this section.
