Direct-Puncture X-Ray Imaging Of A Kidney Cyst

Florida rates for HCPCS 74470

This x-ray study images a fluid-filled cyst in the kidney after contrast dye is injected directly into the cyst through a needle placed through the skin. It helps evaluate the size and characteristics of the cyst, distinguishing a simple fluid-filled cyst from a more concerning growth. It differs from imaging methods that introduce dye through a vein or through the urinary tract.
