Ask Dr. Z

Would codes 75807, 38790-50, 71550, 74181, 72195, and 76377 be used for the following report? "Three plane localizer imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis followed by 3D steady state free precession (SSFP) imaging in the sagittal plane of the upper abdomen and chest and precontrast 3D THRIVE of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis acquired in the coronal plane were performed. The groin lymph nodes were then slowly injected with a total of 5.4 mL of the contrast/saline mixture described above while obtaining serial 3D THRIVE imaging during and following injection in the coronal plane over the next 20 minutes to evaluate lymphodynamics. Post-contrast 3D steady state free precession images were obtained in the sagittal plane 9 minutes following the initiation of contrast administration. The access needles were removed. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the recovery area for extubation and further management. Postprocessing of the 3D THRIVE and SSFP sequences was performed by the attending physician on a separate 3D workstation."
