Brain Function Testing During Imaging
Wyoming rates for HCPCS 96020
During a specialized brain scan, a clinician has the patient perform specific tasks, such as recognizing words, moving a hand, or remembering items, while the scanner records which parts of the brain become active. The results are reviewed and reported to show which regions control abilities like language, movement, or memory. This is commonly done before brain surgery, such as for a tumor or epilepsy, to help the surgical team avoid critical areas.
