Computer-Assisted Chest X-Ray Analysis

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 0174T

Software analyzes the images from a chest X-ray to help highlight areas that may need a closer look, working alongside the radiologist's own reading rather than replacing it. This is performed in addition to a standard chest X-ray, not as a stand-alone imaging test. It's intended to serve as a second set of eyes to help catch findings such as possible lung nodules.
