Billing accuracy is essential for radiology professionals. Having the most up-to-date billing information such as codes and modifiers can ensure that all medical services are reported accurately. Your radiology practice can improve procedure details by knowing the most accurate CPT codes for 2024.
CT Tissue Characterization
These are the following CT tissue characterization codes for 2024:
- 0721T: Quantitative CT tissue characterization, including interpretation and report, obtained without concurrent CT examination of any structure contained in previously acquired diagnostic imaging
- 0722T: Quantitative CT tissue characterization, including interpretation and report, obtained with concurrent CT examination of any structure contained in previously acquired diagnostic imaging
Quantitative MRCP
These are the quantitative MRCP codes for 2024:
- 0723T: Quantitative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (QMRCP), including data preparation and transmission, interpretation, and report, obtained without diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the same anatomy during the same session
- 0724T: QMRCP including data preparation and transmission, interpretation, and report, obtained with MRI examination of the same anatomy during the same session
Percutaneous AV Fistula Creation
For 2024, these are the new percutaneous codes:
- 36836: Percutaneous arteriovenous fistula creation, upper extremity, single access of both the peripheral artery and peripheral vein, including fistula maturation procedures when performed, including all vascular access, imaging guidance, and radiologic supervision and interpretation
- 36837: Percutaneous arteriovenous fistula creation, upper extremity, separate access sites of the peripheral artery and peripheral vein, including fistula maturation procedures when performed, including all vascular access, imaging guidance, and radiologic supervision and interpretation
Nerve Injections

- 64448: Injection(s), anesthetic agent(s) and/or steroid; femoral nerve, continuous infusion by catheter (including catheter placement) including imaging guidance, when performed
Radiology Modifiers for 2024
For radiologists, these are the modifiers for 2024:
- -95: This modifier indicates the service was telehealth rather than in-office
- 50: This modifier represents a service or procedure performed on both sides of the body during the same session.
- 76: This modifier indicates a repeat procedure by the same physician
