Lumbosacral Joint Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes real-time fluoroscopic imaging of the lumbosacral joint, part of the axial skeleton, except skull and facial bones. Procedures capture images using external ionizing radiation displayed on a fluorescent screen and may be stored digitally or analog. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging modality and anatomical target used to guide diagnosis or intervention.
