My question is if I have a report for a cervical spine ct and it also mentions reconstruction. How should I treat the reconstruction, is this also a part of my coding this report also? Thanks.

If the technique does not state the reconstructions were performed in 3-D either on the same work station or an independent, then you would only code the CT portion. The reconstruct stmt is usually a standard part of the process.
Hope that helps
