What CPT code is used for CT guidance during radiation therapy?

The CPT code used for CT guidance during radiation therapy is 77014. This code specifically represents the use of computed tomography (CT) imaging to guide the placement of therapeutic devices, such as the precise localization of radiation beams in the treatment of cancer patients.

CT guidance is critical in radiation therapy as it ensures accurate targeting of tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. The code 77014 is designated for a procedure where CT imaging is performed to assist radiologists or oncologists in the context of radiation treatment.

Other codes may pertain to different types of imaging guidance but are not specifically focused on the aspect of radiation therapy guidance as 77014 is. This code is essential for correct billing and understanding of the procedures conducted during the treatment process.
