Status Information

Status
Discouraged
Comment
As of 2013, CPT codes for fluoroscopic angiography procedures of head and neck vessels are categorized as non-selective and selective. In a non-selective procedure, the catheter is inserted and contrast is injected in the aorta, whereas for selective procedures, the catheter continues beyond the aorta to the specific vessel(s) being targeted. Selective procedures by definition include the non-selective procedure, so LOINC terms that explicitly name both the non-selective and selective procedure are no longer needed.

Change Reason
The scale has been changed from "Nar" to "Doc" to fit with the CDA model.; Method of "XR.fluor.angio" was changed to "RF.angio". The LOINC/RadLex Committee agreed to use a subset of the two-letter DICOM modality codes as the primary modality identifier.
