Interpretation Of Contrast Imaging At The Skull Base

Maryland rates for HCPCS 70010

This service covers a physician's review and interpretation of contrast imaging that evaluates the fluid space around the spinal cord and brain at the base of the skull, near the brainstem and cerebellum, rather than the procedure of injecting the contrast itself. The images show how fluid moves around these structures and can reveal blockages or structural problems.
