Tomorrows episode I (Marcelene Forbus) sit down to explain the purpose for writing this post and the value our profession already has. No one ever gets rich while they are busy talking about how poor they are; why would professional recognition be any different.

A female in her 50s presents with headache and unsteady gait. What does the scan show? ———————— COLLOID CYST 👨🏽💻Here we have a FLAIR axial sequence of a MRI brain - we know it is FLAIR as fluid is dark, white matter is darker than grey matter and subcutaneous fat is low signal 👨🏽💻Dilatation of both lateral ventricles with a normal calibre 4th ventricle suggests obstruction between these two areas 👨🏽💻Looking more carefully there is a well defined lesion in the region of the foramen of Monro. This is a classic location for a colloid cyst 👨🏽💻These present as high density small lesions on CT and have variable signal characteristics on MRI depending on the state of the fluid within. Treatment depends on the clinical situation. Asymptomatic lesions may simply be monitored whereas a lesion such as this would need urgent attention 🔻@theradiologistpage ———- ✅Patient consent obtained #theradiologist #radiology #radiologist #physician #physicianassistant #medicine #medstudent #medicalstudent #medschool #medicalschool #radtech #xray #medical #mribrain #doctor #medicalstudents #frcr

It's Q & A Thursday! Question: Can an interventional radiologist be designated as an authorized user for Y-90? Answer: The role of the AU varies depending upon the institution. In some, an interventional radiology physician serves as the AU. This includes consulting with the patient, ordering and reviewing diagnostic studies as part of the therapy planning, and administering the Y-90 dose. In other institutions, a radiation oncologist or nuclear medicine physician may assume the AU role. They are responsible for reviewing diagnostic data, executing the complex therapy planning, and supervising the Y- 90 dose administration. Code 77790 is assigned by the authorized user (AU) who is responsible for safe handling, receipt, accounting, and storage of the Y-90 dose. A record of the Y-90 dose must be documented and kept in the facility or office where the procedure was performed. However, the NCCI Chapter 9, Section E.12 states: “Supervision and handling of radionuclides is integral to nuclear medicine procedures (eg., CPT codes 78012‐79999). Physicians should not separately report CPT code 77790 (supervision, handling, and loading of radiation source) for this service.” Therefore, when assigning code 79445 for the radioembolization, code 77790 should not be reported for the services provided at the same patient encounter.
