The correct process for assigning accurate procedure codes has six steps: (1) review complete medical documentation; (2) abstract the medical procedures from the visit documentation; (3) identify the main term for each procedure; (4) locate the main terms in the CPT Index; (5) Verify the code in the CPT main text; and ...
Computed tomography (CT) scan is a type of x-ray that uses a computer to take cross-sectional images of your body. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) combines a CT scan with a special dye or contrast material to produce pictures of blood vessels and tissues in a section of your body.
