Please, any help would be appreciated. I'm new at diagnostic radiology coding and I'm confused on when to use modifier 59. Thanks.

no, you don't need a 59 here, codes are not bundled

You can always check the NCCI edits to see what is bundled and what is not. It is a really good quick reference to check whenever you are in doubt. If you need help finding it or how to use them, just let me know and I would be happy to help.
