I earned this certificate for training I received in Diagnostic Imaging Coding. (Radiology includes X-Ray, Computed Tomography/CT, CT Angiography/CTA, Magnetic Resonance Imaging/MRI, MR Angiography/MRA, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine along with Positron Emission Tomography/PET scans & interventional radiology exams) We covered diagnostic coding guidelines regarding the test order & radiology report including the main sections of a radiology report, unconfirmed diagnoses, injury or trauma, pain, as well as guidelines for traumatic & pathological fractures. We also covered Radiology Screening Codes including Lung Cancer screening with Low-Dose CT, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening (you're at risk for this if you're a man aged 65-75 who has smoked 100+ cigarettes in your lifetime), Bone Density Measurement BMM/DEXA, & screening mammograms.
