Radiologic examination, complex motion (ie, hypercycloidal) body section (eg, mastoid polytomography), other than with urography; bilateral

A radiologic examination that focuses on complex motion of a specific body section is conducted using advanced imaging technology. This procedure employs a machine equipped with multiple scanning heads, which allows for the imaging of several predetermined planes in rapid succession. This technique is particularly beneficial as it minimizes distortion that may arise from internal movement during the imaging process. The result is a detailed digital three-dimensional image of the targeted body section. Such examinations are instrumental in diagnosing a variety of articular disorders, which may include conditions like ankylosis, congenital or developmental disorders, fractures, joint dislocations, inflammatory disorders, and osteoarthritis. Additionally, this imaging technique is valuable for assessing masticatory muscle disorders, which encompass issues such as myofascial pain, myofibrotic contractures, myospasm, and neoplasia. It is important to note that CPT® Code 76101 is designated for unilateral radiologic examinations, while CPT® Code 76102 specifically pertains to bilateral radiologic examinations of complex motion, explicitly excluding urography.
