Nuclear Scan To Locate A Tumor Or Infection

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 78800

In this nuclear medicine scan, a small amount of a radioactive tracer is given to the patient, and a special camera then creates images showing where the tracer has concentrated in the body. This pattern can help locate a tumor, an area of infection, or inflammation that might not be visible on other types of imaging. The scan is often used when the source of symptoms has not been found by other means.
