Which section of the CPT manual includes codes for radiology services?

The radiology section of the CPT manual is specifically dedicated to coding procedures and services related to imaging studies and diagnostic radiology. This section covers a wide range of imaging modalities including X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and nuclear medicine. It includes detailed codes that describe the various techniques and interpretations of these imaging studies performed on patients.

Understanding where to locate these specific codes is essential for accurately billing for radiological services and ensuring appropriate reimbursement. The organization of the CPT manual allows healthcare providers and coders to navigate efficiently to the relevant section based on the type of service being rendered, thereby supporting the accurate documentation and coding of procedures. Other sections of the CPT manual focus on different aspects of medical care—such as evaluation and management, pathology, and medicine—that do not encompass radiology services.
