Image-Guided Brain Surgery Navigation

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 61782

This service adds computer-based navigation technology to a brain operation that does not require opening the protective membrane (dura) surrounding the brain. Using imaging captured before or during surgery, the system tracks the position of surgical instruments in real time and overlays that information onto the patient's scans, helping the surgeon work with greater precision. It is provided alongside the main procedure, not as a stand-alone visit.
