Inferior Vena Cava Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging examinations of the inferior vena cava within the venous system. These procedures capture computer reformatted multiplanar images developed from radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in the body site excited within a magnetic field. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these imaging procedures ensures correct inpatient documentation and supports appropriate reimbursement for imaging services targeted to the inferior vena cava.
