Limited Whole-Body Bone X-ray Survey

Alabama rates for HCPCS 77074

This is a set of X-ray images covering a limited selection of bones across the body, used to screen for problems such as fractures, bone lesions, or metabolic bone changes without imaging every bone group. It's less extensive than a full skeletal survey but broader than an X-ray of a single area. It's often used when there's a specific reason to check several, but not all, bone regions.
