Specialized Duodenum X-Ray Study

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 74260

This covers a specialized X-ray examination of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine just past the stomach, performed after giving a medication that temporarily relaxes the intestine's muscle activity. Relaxing the intestine allows clearer, more detailed X-ray images of the duodenal wall to be obtained using swallowed contrast. It is used to evaluate abnormalities in this specific area, including issues related to the pancreas next to it.
