HCPCS 76705

Ultrasound, abdominal, real time with image documentation; limited (eg, single organ, quadrant, follow-up)

AI EXPLANATION: An abdominal ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create visual images of internal organs and blood vessels. A limited abdominal ultrasound focuses on a specific target area, such as a single organ like the gallbladder, liver, or kidneys, or serves as a follow-up evaluation to monitor changes in a previously examined condition. During the scan, a healthcare professional gently glides a smooth handheld sensor across the skin of the belly to capture real-time images.
