For instance, iodinated contrast agents are commonly used in CT scans, while gadolinium-based contrast agents are preferred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 4. Timing and Dosing: The guidelines emphasize the importance of proper timing and dosing of contrast agents. The optimal timing of ...
MRI without and with contrast is the most accurate imaging method to determine whether a process is intrinsic or extrinsic to a nerve of the brachial or lumbosacral plexus. However, there are no Current Procedural Terminology codes to correspond to imaging studies of the brachial or lumbar plexus...
