The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT ®) code 70492 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range – Diagnostic Radiology (Diagnostic Imaging) Procedures of the Head and Neck. QA
There are several key differences:
CT Scan Brain ICD-9 Codes Procedure Codes : 70450 – CT Head/Brain w/o Contrast 70460 – CT Brain with Contrast. 782.0 Skin, sensation disturbance 784.0 Headache 70470 – CT Brain w/o Without Contrast.

Report 74176 when both studies (abdomen and pelvis) are performed without contrast. Apply 74177 if both studies are performed with contrast.
When a patient has only one visit to the CT department for CT abdomen and pelvis with and without contrast as a single study, you must bill CPT code 74178.

Maxillofacial CT imaging evaluate the bones of the face including the orbits, sinuses, mandible (jaw), and teeth. This exam can detect fractures, orbit injury, sinus infections, eye infections, and tumors of the face and nearby tissues.
CT of the abdomen and pelvis is a special type of imaging performed with intravenous contrast material after the ingestion of oral barium. Images are generated and can be viewed on a computer monitor and burned on a CD. The weight limit for most scanners is 350 pounds.

Report 74176, 74177, or 74178 only once per session. Codes 74176, 74177, and 74178 can never be reported together with any of the codes for CT of the abdomen alone (74150, 74160, and 74170), or CT of the pelvis alone (72192, 72193, and 72194).
CT Stone Protocol CT scan images provide more detailed information than plain X-rays do. Depending on what your doctor is looking for, this test may be ordered with or without IV contrast.
MRI without contrast is the usual MRI procedure which is done without the use of the contrast agent. The results of the MRI procedure are as valuable and relevant as those done with the use of a contrast agent.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine uses radio waves, a magnetic field and a computer. It creates clear, detailed pictures of the spine and surrounding tissues. MRI does not use radiation and may require an injection of gadolinium contrast material.
CPT® Code 73721 in section: Magnetic resonance (eg, proton) imaging, any joint of lower extremity.
CPT® 2011 created new codes (e.g., 74174 Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material, 74177 Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; with contrast, and 74178 Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material in 1 or both body regions, followed by contrast material(s) and further ...
A CT (computerised tomography) scan uses x-rays and a computer to create a detailed picture of the inside of the body. A scan of the urinary system may be called a CT urogram, CT IVP (intravenous pyelogram) or a triple-phase abdomen and pelvis CT – these are different names for the same test.
