Hip Right Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes computerized tomography imaging of the right hip developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation and reformatted into multiplanar digital displays. Procedures target the non-axial lower bones of the right hip to evaluate bone and periarticular structures. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging modality and body part examined, supporting correct case mix and payment.
