Mesenteric Duplex Imaging

Date: Sep 15, 2020

Question:

The Society of Vascular Ultrasound protocol for a mesenteric Doppler directs to the use of codes 93975 and 93976; however, the protocol does not call for venous outflow imaging. We are currently using 93978, as the aorta is part of the study. Would this be correct?
