CT Scan of the Head With Contrast Dye

Montana rates for HCPCS 70460

This is a CT scan of the head or brain performed after an intravenous contrast dye is given, which helps highlight blood vessels, tumors, infections, and areas of inflammation more clearly than an unenhanced scan. Cross-sectional images are created using X-rays and computer processing. It's often ordered when a doctor suspects a problem that would show up better with contrast, such as a tumor or infection.
