3D mapping vs 3D rendering

Date: Sep 26, 2018

Question:

I was wondering if you could tell me the difference between 3D rendering vs. 3D mapping from a coding perspective. I have a physician who imports a patient's MRI or CT into the Carto workstation to create 3D models of a patient's heart prior to an ablation. They then use those renderings during the ablation procedure. So how do I code this, or can I code for this (93613/93609)?
