X-Ray Study Of The Large Vein Over The Brain

Nevada rates for HCPCS 75870

An X-ray study of the superior sagittal sinus, the large vein running front to back along the top of the brain that carries blood away from it. Contrast dye is introduced so the vein stands out, images are taken, and a radiologist reads them to look for a clot, narrowing or blockage. Findings help explain severe headache, seizures or unexplained pressure inside the head.
