    The CPT code revisions in 2013 were part of a periodic five-year review of codes. Some psychotherapy codes changed numbers, for example 90806 changed to 90834 for individual psychotherapy of a similar duration. Add-on codes were created for the complexity of communication about procedures.

  3. Endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorectal_coil_magnetic...

    Endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging or endorectal coil MRI is a type of medical imaging in which MRI is used in conjunction with a coil placed into the rectum in order to obtain high quality images of the area surrounding the rectum. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominopelvic_cavity

    The lower portion is the pelvic cavity, and it contains the urinary bladder, the rest of the large intestine (the lower portion), and the internal reproductive organs. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] There is no membrane that separates out the abdominal cavity from the pelvic cavity, so the terms abdominal pelvis and peritoneal cavity are sometimes used.

  5. Skeletal survey - Wikipedia

    The standard set of X-rays for a skeletal survey includes X-rays of the skull, entire spine, pelvis, ribs, both humeri and femora (proximal long bones). It is more effective than isotope scans at detecting bone involvement in multiple myeloma. Although significantly less sensitive than MRI, it is easier to include more bones. A study found that ...

    The use of Level III codes was discontinued on December 31, 2003, in order to adhere to consistent coding standards. [3]: 2 Level III codes were different from the modern CPT Category III codes, which were introduced in 2001 to code emerging technology. [4]

  8. Xenon gas MRI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_gas_MRI

    Hyperpolarized 129 Xe gas magnetic resonance imaging is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the anatomy and physiology of body regions that are difficult to image with standard proton MRI. In particular, the lung, which lacks substantial density of protons, is particularly useful to be visualized with 129 Xe gas MRI. This technique ...

  9. Magnetic resonance neurography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_neurography

    The most significant impact of magnetic resonance neurography is on the evaluation of the large proximal nerve elements such as the brachial plexus (the nerves between the cervical spine and the underarm that innervate shoulder, arm and hand), [9] the lumbosacral plexus (nerves between the lumbosacral spine and legs), the sciatic nerve in the pelvis, [10] as well as other nerves such as the ...
