3D Bone and Joint Scan

Washington rates for HCPCS 78320

This covers a nuclear medicine bone scan performed using a three-dimensional imaging technique, giving more detailed cross-sectional images of bones and joints than a standard flat bone scan. A small amount of radioactive tracer is injected, and the scanner detects where it concentrates in the bone, which can highlight areas of abnormal bone activity. This more detailed version is often used to better pinpoint the exact source of pain or an abnormal finding, such as in the spine.
