CPT® Code 76120

Cineradiography/videoradiography is a specialized imaging technique that integrates cinematographic, fluoroscopic, and radiographic methods to produce a dynamic visual representation of a specific anatomical region. This procedure involves the use of a camera that is connected to the output port of a fluoroscopic image intensifier, allowing for the capture of body movements in real-time. The resulting video images can be displayed on a monitor for immediate viewing or recorded for subsequent analysis. This capability enables radiologists to examine the individual frames in both stop action and fast action formats, facilitating a thorough review and interpretation of the captured motion. The CPT® Code 76120 is designated for reporting cineradiography/videoradiography, except in instances where it is explicitly included as part of another examination. It is important to note that CPT® Code 76125 is used to report cineradiography/videoradiography when it is performed as an adjunct to a routine examination, and it is billed separately in addition to the primary procedure code.
