PET Scan From Skull Base to Mid-Thigh

Washington rates for HCPCS 78812

A small amount of a radioactive tracer is given through a vein, and a scanner then maps where in the body it collects. Areas of unusually high activity, such as many cancers, show up as bright spots. The imaging covers the body from the base of the skull down to the middle of the thighs, the region where most cancers are found or spread to.
