CPT Codes For Other Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine Procedures

Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for other diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures.

CPT Code 78800

CPT 78800 describes planar, single-area imaging of a tumor, inflammatory process, or distribution of radiopharmaceutical agent(s) on a single day, including vascular flow and blood pool imaging when performed.

CPT Code 78801

CPT 78801 describes planar imaging of two or more areas of the body, such as the abdomen and pelvis, head and chest, over one or more days, or single area imaging over two or more days, for radiopharmaceutical localization of a tumor, inflammatory process, or distribution of radiopharmaceutical agent(s).

CPT Code 78802

CPT 78802 describes planar, whole body, single-day imaging for radiopharmaceutical localization of the tumor, inflammatory process, or distribution of radiopharmaceutical agent(s), including vascular flow and blood pool imaging when performed.

CPT Code 78803

CPT 78803 describes tomographic (SPECT) imaging of a single area (e.g., head, neck, chest, pelvis) for the localization of a tumor, inflammatory process, or distribution of radiopharmaceutical agent(s), including vascular flow and blood pool imaging, on a single day.

CPT Code 78804

CPT 78804 describes planar, whole-body imaging requiring two or more days to localize a tumor, inflammatory process, or distribution of radiopharmaceutical agent(s), including vascular flow and blood pool imaging when performed.

CPT Code 78808

CPT 78808 describes an intravenous injection procedure for radiopharmaceutical localization by non-imaging probe study (e.g., parathyroid adenoma).

CPT Code 78811

CPT 78811 describes positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of a limited area, such as the chest or head/neck.

CPT Code 78812

CPT 78812 describes positron emission tomography (PET) imaging from the skull base to mid-thigh.

CPT Code 78813

CPT 78813 describes positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the whole body.

CPT Code 78814

CPT 78814 describes positron emission tomography (PET) with concurrently acquired computed tomography (CT) for attenuation correction and anatomical localization imaging of a limited area, such as the chest or head/neck.

CPT Code 78815

CPT 78815 describes positron emission tomography (PET) with concurrently acquired computed tomography (CT) for attenuation correction and anatomical localization imaging from the skull base to mid-thigh.

CPT Code 78816

CPT 78816 describes positron emission tomography (PET) with concurrently acquired computed tomography (CT) for attenuation correction and anatomical localization imaging of the whole body.

CPT Code 78830

CPT 78830 describes the radiopharmaceutical localization of a tumor, inflammatory process, or distribution of radiopharmaceutical agent(s) with tomographic (SPECT) imaging and concurrently acquired computed tomography (CT) transmission scan for anatomical review, localization, and determination/detection of pathology, in a single area (e.g., head, neck, chest, pelvis) or acquisition, on a single day.

CPT Code 78831

CPT 78831 describes tomographic imaging of a tumor, inflammatory process, or radiopharmaceutical agent(s) with at least two areas or separate acquisitions over a single day or multiple days.

CPT Code 78832

CPT 78832 describes tomographic (SPECT) imaging with concurrently acquired computed tomography (CT) transmission scan for anatomical review, localization, and determination/detection of pathology, minimum two areas (e.g., pelvis and knees, chest, and abdomen) or separate acquisitions (e.g., lung ventilation and perfusion), single day imaging, or a single area or acquisition over two or more days, for the radiopharmaceutical localization of the tumor, inflammatory process or distribution of radiopharmaceutical agent(s) (includes vascular flow and blood pool imaging, when performed).

CPT Code 78999

CPT 78999 describes an unlisted miscellaneous procedure in diagnostic nuclear medicine.
