Yes you can code it as a cta chest since it states that 3d recons were done. It needs to state this to be coded as a cta chest.

CTA info sources

I was just researching this myself and found info on the ACR website:

http://www.acr.org/Hidden/Economics...2003/ComputedTomographicAngiographyDoc10.aspx

If you have a CPT 2009 Professional Edition it references CPT Assistant July 2001 along with several other CPT Assistant articles.

Hope that helps.
