CPT® Code 77054

The CPT® Code 77054 refers to a mammary ductogram or galactogram that involves the radiological supervision and interpretation for multiple ducts. A galactogram is a specialized radiographic imaging technique used to visualize the mammary ducts, which are the channels through which milk flows from the lobules of the breast to the nipple. This procedure is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions related to the mammary ducts, such as blockages, infections, or abnormal growths. During the procedure, a radiopaque substance, which is a contrast agent that appears white on X-ray images, is injected into the ducts to enhance visibility. The injection is performed using a needle and cannula, which are carefully inserted into the duct to facilitate the introduction of the contrast material. Once the imaging is completed, the needle and cannula are removed. The supervision and interpretation of the radiological images are critical components of this procedure, ensuring that the results are accurately assessed for diagnostic purposes. This code specifically captures the professional services associated with the imaging of multiple ducts, distinguishing it from similar codes that pertain to single duct procedures.
