Nuclear Scan of Brain Fluid Flow

Nevada rates for HCPCS 78630

A scan that follows the movement of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. A small amount of radioactive tracer is injected into that fluid through a needle in the lower back, and images are taken over the following hours and days as it circulates upward and is absorbed. It reveals abnormal flow patterns or a leak.
