PROCEDURE CODE DESCRIPTOR COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY Conventional CT of the chest 71250 Computed tomography, thorax; (eg, for pulmonary without contrast material embolism and/or aortic dissection, when no 71260 with contrast material(s) angiographic postprocessing 71270 without contrast material, followed is performed) by contrast material(s) and further sections Conventional chest CTA (eg, 71275 Computed tomographic for pulmonary embolism angiography, chest, without and/or aortic dissection, contrast material(s), followed by when angiographic contrast material(s) and further postprocessing is sections, including image performed) postprocessing) Coronary CTA 76497 Unlisted computed tomography procedure (eg, diagnostic, interventional) Combined conventional 71275 Computed tomographic chest and coronary CT angiography, chest, without angiography (eg, for contrast material(s), followed by evaluation of aorta, + contrast material(s) and further pulmonary vasculature and sections, including image coronary circulation postprocessing) referred to by some as a 76497 "triple ruleoutâ„¢" CTA study) Unlisted computed tomography procedure (eg, diagnostic, interventional) Cardiac Mapping (cardiac scoring) 76497 Unlisted computed tomography procedure (eg, diagnostic, interventional) MRI of the heart is currently differentiated from MRI and MRA of the chest. Please reference the following table for a listing of MRI codes. PROCEDURE CODE DESCRIPTOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING MRI of the chest 71550 Magnetic resonance (eg, proton) imaging, chest (eg, for evaluation of hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy); without 71551 71552 contrast material with contrast material without contrast material, followed by with contrast material(s) and further sections MRA of the chest 71555 Magnetic resonance angiography, chest (excluding myocardium), with or without contrast material(s) Cardiac MRI for morphology 75552 Cardiac magnetic resonance (Useful in assessment of the imaging for morphology, without heart structure for contrast material diagnostic evaluation of 75553 congenital heart disease, with contrast material pericardial disease, tumors, cardiomyopathies, valvular heart disease, and ischemic heart disease)1 Cardiac MRI for function (Codes used to describe observation of cardiac function with or without observing morphology.)1 75554 Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for function, with or without morphology; 75555 complete study limited study Cardiac MRI for mapping 75556 Cardiac magnetic resonance (Used to assess the great imaging for velocity flow mapping vessels, including the thoracic aorta (for detection of aneurysm, dissection, or co-arctation), the main pulmonary artery (to assess its size), and the relationship between these two vessels (to assess patients with congenital heart disease).1 MRA of the heart 76498 Unlisted magnetic resonance procedure (eg, diagnostic, interventional) For additional information on MRI and MRA of the heart, please reference the CPT® Assistant, Fall 1995 issue. 1 CPT® Assistant, Fall 1995
