Kang S, Huang W, Pandharipande P, Chandarana H. Solid Renal Masses: What the Numbers Tell Us. 73721 is for an MRI of lower extremity joint; 73718 is an MRI for "other than joint". Position the patient over the spine coil and place the body coil over the abdomen (xiphoid process down to anterior superior iliac spine) <> A three plane TrueFISP localiser must be taken initially to localise and plan the sequences. Some masses can be confidently characterized on these images without requiring a subsequent dedicated multiphase renal protocol CT or MR image.
