CPT® Code 19030

The CPT® Code 19030 refers to an injection procedure specifically performed for a mammary ductogram or galactogram. In this procedure, a physician utilizes a needle or cannula to access the duct of the breast, where they inject a contrast medium. This contrast media is essential for enhancing the visibility of the ductal structures during radiographic imaging. The use of a dissecting microscope may be required to ensure precise placement of the needle or cannula, which is critical for the accuracy of the procedure. Following the injection, the needle or cannula is carefully removed, completing the procedure. This technique is primarily employed to facilitate a detailed radiographic study of the breast ducts, aiding in the diagnosis and evaluation of various breast conditions.
