Salivary Gland X-ray For A Stone

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 70380

This is a plain X-ray of a salivary gland area taken to look for a calcified stone that may be blocking saliva flow and causing swelling or pain. It doesn't use any injected contrast dye, relying instead on the natural density of a stone to show up on the image. It's a quick, simple imaging option used before considering more detailed studies if a stone isn't clearly seen.
