Light Scan Of Removed Breast Tissue During Surgery

Vermont rates for HCPCS 0351T

A light-based scan of tissue taken out during breast surgery — a piece of breast tissue or a lymph node from the armpit — carried out in real time while the patient is still in the operating room. Near-infrared light produces detailed cross-sectional pictures of the specimen so the surgical team can look at it straight away.
