CT Thorax With Contrast Cost Comparison

71260TC (HCPCS)

A CT scan of the chest with contrast is a detailed imaging test that takes pictures of your lungs, heart, and other structures in your chest using X-rays and a special dye injected into your veins to help organs and blood vessels show up more clearly on the images. Your doctor might order this scan to help diagnose or evaluate conditions like lung problems, infections, tumors, blood clots, or heart issues. During the procedure, you'll lie still on a table that slides through a donut-shaped scanner, and the test usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
