Cisterna Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes computer reformatted, multiplanar imaging of the cisterna performed using external ionizing radiation captures, commonly known as computerized tomography. These procedures target the central nervous system and specifically image the cisternal spaces to evaluate pathology such as hemorrhage, mass effect, or infection. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these inpatient imaging procedures ensures the procedure performed is captured in the medical record and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.
