At least one urinary bladder diverticulum is present. As far as can be seen, significant pathology is not apparent. For this reason, one cannot fully assess the kidneys or ureters. CONCLUSION: Drip infusion pyelography shows poorly functioning kidneys. Therefore, unlisted CPT codes 76496 or 76499 may be used.

Indwelling Foley catheter is present therefore, a postvoiding film was not obtained. Digital motion x-ray involves the use of either film x-ray or computer-based x-ray snapshots taken. This adds up to four views, so 72050 (minimum of four views) is the most accurate choice. You mention that your practice shot AP, lateral, flexion and extension views. Questionable one is suggested in the region of the fundus superiorly. Answer: Actually, 72050 ( Radiologic examination, spine, cervical minimum of four views) is the code that you should use when you report the scenario that you describe. Urinary bladder shows floor elevation consistent with a large prostate gland, and there is at least one diverticulum present, which is noted on the right. As far as can be seen, the renal-collecting structures are grossly normal. Following Renografin, there was minimal delay in excretion from the kidneys and rather poor concentration bilaterally throughout the study, particularly on the right. 72125 in category: Computed tomography, cervical spine 72126 in category: Computed tomography, cervical spine 72127 in category: Computed tomography. There is no definite sign of bowel obstruction. Some large and small bowel gas is present, suggesting a mild ileus. There is degenerative arthrosis of the lumbar spine. The remainder of the duodenal loop and the upper jejunum mucosal pattern are within normal limits.ĭRIP TECHNIQUE INFUSION PYELOGRAPHY: Right renal length is approximately 11.3 cm, and the left is approximately 10.8 cm.

Prolapse of gastric mucosa into the base of the bulb is seen. The duodenal bulb fills out well, and this structure is noted to be slightly distorted in configuration however, no ulcer crater of the duodenal bulb is appreciated. CPT codes are a copyright of the American Medical Association (AMA). No additional site of gastric ulceration or other abnormality is seen. There is a suggestion of a small ulcer crater of the lesser curvature aspect of the pyloric canal of the stomach. The mucosal pattern of the stomach is not unusual. No reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus or radiographic signs of esophagitis can be seen. The stomach is readily entered, peristalsis traverses this organ in normal fashion, and a very small sliding type of hiatus hernia of the stomach is seen on one of the radiographs.

UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL SERIES AND ESOPHAGRAM: Radiographic examination of upper gastrointestinal tract reveals no abnormalities of the swallowing mechanism or of the entire esophagus.
