Summary
In this procedure, the provider performs imaging supervision and interpretation for an epidurogram of the spine. The provider injects contrast material in the epidural space of the spinal canal and takes a series of X–ray images to detect any injury, compression from a lesion, narrowing or swelling around the nerves, or protrusion in the spine. Report this code to represent only imaging supervision and interpretation for this procedure.
