X-ray Of A Surgical Tissue Specimen

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 76098

This service takes an X-ray image of a tissue sample immediately after it has been surgically removed, most often during a biopsy for a suspicious breast finding. Imaging the specimen right away helps confirm that the area of concern, such as a cluster of calcifications, was actually captured within the removed tissue before the patient leaves the procedure. This immediate confirmation can help avoid the need for a repeat procedure.
