Brain Ultrasound (Echoencephalography)

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 76506

An ultrasound scan of the brain, performed by holding a probe against the head and using sound waves to build a moving picture of the structures inside. It shows the size of the fluid spaces in the brain and can pick up a collection of fluid or a shift of the midline. It is most useful in infants, whose soft spot lets sound waves pass through easily.
