CT Scan of the Leg, With Contrast

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 73701

A computed tomography (CT) scan produces detailed cross-sectional images of the bones and soft tissue in the leg after contrast dye has been injected into a vein. The dye makes blood vessels and certain tissues stand out more clearly, which can help identify masses, infections, or other abnormalities. It provides more detail than a scan taken without any contrast.
