Placement Of Bone Markers For Precision X-Ray Study

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 0347T

Tiny metal beads are implanted into bone, usually during another operation, to serve as fixed reference points. Later X-ray studies taken from two angles at once use those points to measure very small movements between a bone and an implant, or between bones. Only the placement of the markers is covered here; the imaging is done separately.
