Salivary Gland X-ray With Contrast Dye

Montana rates for HCPCS 70390

This is an X-ray study of a salivary gland and its draining duct performed after injecting a small amount of contrast dye directly into the duct, allowing the gland's internal structure and duct system to be seen clearly on the images. It's used to look for blockages, narrowing, stones, or other abnormalities affecting saliva flow. A radiologist supervises the dye injection and interprets the resulting images.
