Nuclear Medicine Probe Localization Procedure

Vermont rates for HCPCS 78808

This nuclear medicine procedure uses a small amount of radioactive tracer, given by injection, along with a handheld probe to help locate an area of concern inside the body, such as an abnormal collection of tissue. The probe detects the tracer's signal in real time to guide the localization, often during a surgical procedure. It is used when the exact location of a problem needs to be pinpointed using this signal.
