Summary
At the same session as a computed tomography (CT) or computed tomographic angiography (CTA) study of the head, the provider performs CT cerebral (brain–related) perfusion analysis. This measures blood flow to areas of the brain. The service includes imaging with and without contrast and image postprocessing. This is an add–on code reported in conjunction with a primary CT or CTA procedure.
