I would appreciate some guidance on how to code the following:

"As specifically requested by referring physician, the radiologist used sterile technique to inject a total of 1.0 mCi of technetium 99m sulfur colloid into the left breast using four equal injections at the 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock periareolar locations. No imaging performed and no complications observed."

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the op note to know what was done after this point.

Thank you for your input!
Tracy
