Thoracic Spine X-ray, Four or More Views

Florida rates for HCPCS 72074

This is an X-ray study of the thoracic spine, the section of the backbone in the middle of the back, using four or more images taken from different angles. The additional views give a more thorough look at the vertebrae than a basic two-view study, helping identify fractures, alignment problems, or degenerative changes. It's often ordered for more involved back concerns than a simpler thoracic spine X-ray would address.
