ICD-10-PCS BW25YZZ https://icd10coded.com/pcs/BW25YZZ/ Computerized Tomography
A CT scan or computed tomography scan makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting. The 1979 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to Allan M. Cormack and Godfrey N. Hounsfield "for the devel…

I've seen several reports where the doctor does a CT scan of the chest with contrast and then does a high resolution CT scan of the chest and gives measurements of each section of the chest that he does. Is there a difference in the coding or is it still 71260? High Resolution means "special images" which there is no charge for those.
CT of Chest High Resolution means "special images" which there is no charge for those. It could be 71250, 71260 or 71270.
High resolution CT Chest should be reported only with an appropriate code from the set CPT® 71250-CPT® 71270.

Erythema is a type of skin rash caused by injured or inflamed blood capillaries. It usually occurs in response to a drug, disease or infection. Rash severity ranges from mild to life threatening.
A computed tomographic (CT) image is a display of the anatomy of a thin slice of the body developed from multiple x-ray absorption measurements made around the body’s periphery. Unlike conventional tomography, where the image of a thin section is created by blurring out the information from unwanted regions, the CT image is constructed mathematically using data arising only from the section of interest. Generating such an image is confined to cross sections of the anatomy that are oriented essentially perpendicular to the axial dimensions of the body. Reconstruction of the final image can be accomplished in any plane. The CT of the thorax extends from the lung apices to the posterior costophrenic sulci and may extend inferiorly to image the adrenal glands.
The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) require the use of short CPT descriptors in policies published on the Web. Chest CT with contrast (CPT 71260) is indicated in a current or past smoker with a change in cough or a new onset cough lasting greater than 4 weeks.
CT of the thorax is also indicated for following for sequalae of , and response to treatment of these procedures. It is not expected that patients who have recently had CT scans of the thorax that documented treatable abnormalities, would undergo another CT scan of the chest at the time of the procedure.
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a method of examination which is more precise than chest 2-rat in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases of the lung tissue and the airways. Modern CT equipment enables a volume HRCT scan covering the whole lung tissue. HRCT slices can also be constructed from contrast-enhanced CT scans of the chest of the whole body. HRCT of the lungs can be applied to the diagnosis of both acute and more chronic diffuse diseases of the lung tissue and the airways. The best-known indications for HRCT include idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. High-resolution computed tomography has also become established in the diagnostics of pneumoconiosis, such as asbestosis. More acute indications for HRCT include various inflammations, drug reactions and diffuse alveolar injury. Medical history plays a central role in the interpretation of lung HRCT, because a finding in imaging examination is often unspecific. A good test requisition is therefore important.
