A patient is positioned on the scanning table headfirst with arms at the side for an MRI of the thoracic spine and spinal canal. A contrast agent is used to improve the quality of the images. The scan confirms the size and depth of a previously biopsied leiomyosarcoma metastasized to the thoracic spinal cord. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
