Imaging Guidance for a Biopsy Taken Through a Blood Vessel

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 75970

This covers the imaging guidance and interpretation used when a tissue sample is taken through a catheter placed inside a blood vessel, rather than through a needle inserted directly into the body. The imaging helps the doctor guide the catheter to the correct location and confirm the sample is taken from the right area. This technique can be used to sample tissue from organs that are difficult or risky to reach with a standard needle biopsy.
