Methlylene Blue inj plus CT guided hook wire for localization

Date: May 13, 2022

Question:

My doctor did a CT-guided injection of methylene blue around a targeted right upper lobe lung nodule, then a CT-guided placement of a hook wire adjacent to the targeted right upper lung nodule (needle localization). Would this be 10035 for the needle localization and unlisted for injection? Or 32553 and unlisted?
