3D Nuclear Scan For Tumor Or Infection

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 78830

This nuclear medicine scan uses a radioactive tracer that concentrates in areas of tumor, infection, or inflammation, then captures three-dimensional images with a rotating camera, often combined with a CT scan for precise anatomical detail. It helps pinpoint the exact location of abnormal tissue that a standard flat image might not clearly localize.
