Neck and Brain Blood Vessel Imaging via Catheter

Oklahoma rates for HCPCS 36223

A specialist threads a thin catheter through the blood vessels up into the arteries of the neck and toward the brain, then injects contrast dye while X-ray images are taken to map blood flow. This detailed imaging can identify narrowing, blockages, aneurysms, or other blood vessel problems affecting circulation to the brain. The catheter is guided through the body's blood vessels rather than through an open surgical approach.
