Fluoroscopic Urodynamic Studies (FUDS)
The CPT code for placing a nasogastric tube using fluoroscopic guidance is 74230. This code specifically describes the fluoroscopic guidance for the placement of a nasogastric tube. It's important to ensure that the procedure is documented appropriately to support the use of this code.

A cine fluoroscopic unit is a medical imaging device that combines a fluoroscope (which provides real-time X-ray images) with a cine camera (which records continuous motion pictures). This technology is commonly used to capture dynamic images of internal structures such as the heart or blood vessels in motion, allowing for detailed analysis of function and movement.
A ureteral stent is typically dilated under fluoroscopic control to a 42 French diameter. This process opens up the ureter to ensure proper drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder, helping to alleviate any blockages or obstructions in the urinary system.
Barium sulfate is the filler commonly added to PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) to enhance its visibility on a fluoroscopic screen during invasive surgeries. This radiopaque substance allows medical professionals to clearly visualize the PTFE material in real-time imaging, aiding in accurate placement and assessment during procedures.
a fluoroscopic examination (a type of x-ray imaging) of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine (duodenum).
CPT code 77003- Fluoroscopic guidance and localization of needle or catheter tip for spine or paraspinous diagnostic or therapeutic injection procedures (epidural or subarachnoid).
An image produced on a radiosensitive surface, such as a photographic film, by radiation other than visible light, especially by x-rays passed through an object or by photographing a fluoroscopic image.
Fluoroscopy is "live" - for example we watch barium as the patient swallows and it goes through their esophagus, stomach, and small bowel. General radiography is still x-rays.
