Aerobilia within a non dilated biliary system. Is this a cause for concern?
Aerobilia refers to the presence of air within the biliary system, which can be seen on imaging studies like X-rays. It can be a sign of a fistula between the biliary tree and the gastrointestinal tract or certain surgical procedures. The presence of aerobilia itself is not always a cause for concern, but the underlying cause should be investigated to determine if treatment is necessary.

What is intravenous cholangiography?
Intravenous cholangiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the biliary tree, which includes the bile ducts and gallbladder. In this procedure, a contrast dye is injected intravenously, allowing for enhanced visualization of the biliary system on X-ray images. It is primarily used to diagnose conditions such as bile duct obstructions, gallstones, or tumors. While less common today due to advancements in non-invasive imaging techniques like MRCP (magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography), it remains a useful tool in certain clinical situations.
What is cpt code 78258?
CPT code 78258 refers to a liver imaging study that involves a hepatobiliary (HIDA) scan with or without the use of a radioactive tracer to assess liver function and biliary system. This procedure is typically used to evaluate conditions such as liver disease, biliary obstruction, or gallbladder function. It provides valuable information regarding the health of the liver and its ability to concentrate and excrete the tracer.
What is Neuroimaging?
It is the use of x ray studies and magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) to detect abnormalities or trace pathways of nerve activity in the central nervous system
