Ultrasound used to non-invasively visualize the size and movement of heart structures is 2-D echocardiography. A transducer sends millions of sound waves into the patient’s body, at several different angles, every second. Sound waves travel into the chest, bounce off of various cardiac structures, and then travel back to the transducer. Because the...
Doppler imaging is based on an observation made by Christian Johann Doppler in 1842. The concept of the Doppler effect is easily explained with the analogy of waves in the ocean rather than with sound waves. Waves rolling into shore from the ocean move at a fairly constant rate. If a ship moves from the shore out to sea, waves would hit the front o...
In this assessment, the computer uses data obtained from Doppler waves to label blood cells a certain color based on their travelling direction. Most systems label blood cells moving toward the transducer as red and those moving away from the transducer as blue. By color coding blood cells based on the direction they travel, we can identify the pre...
Because the Doppler and color flow codes are listed as add-on codes in CPT®, the + symbol is listed next to these codes. CPT® notes to only report these add-on codes when certain base codes are reported. These restrictions are: +93320—use in addition to 93303, 93304, 93307, 93308, 93312, 93314, 93315, 93317, or 93350. +93321—use with the same list ...
