A patient undergoes magnetic resonance guidance for needle placement for placement of a localization device. What is the correct code for this procedure?
  1. 77011
  2. 77012
  3. 77021
  4. 77022
Explanation
Answer: C - 77021 is the correct code for magnetic resonance guidance for needle placement (e.g., for biopsy, needle aspiration, injection, or placement of localization device) radiological supervision and interpretation.

Codes 77011 and 77012 are incorrect because these codes are for computed tomography guidance procedures. Code 77022 is incorrect because this code is for magnetic resonance guidance for, and monitoring of, parenchymal tissue ablation.
