This provides CPT codes associated with the procedures Wake Radiology provides in our outpatient imaging offices. Please note that the exam times do not include patient registration, changing clothes or contrast administration.
Wake Radiology is proud to be accredited by the American College of Radiology in all modalities as well as being the first outpatient provider in the Triangle to earn the prestigious Breast Imaging Center of Excellence (BICOE) designation. We are also ISCD certified for bone density screenings.
Note: MR Arthrograms do not require separate pre-authorization for the fluoro/joint injection.
* MR Enterography is a dual study, and pre-authorization is required for both CPT codes. Patients must arrive 1 hour prior to exam time for contrast preparation.

Note: The amount of time needed for a nuclear medicine exam varies greatly depending on the type of exam. It can take several seconds to several days for the radiotracer to travel through the body and accumulate in the organ or area being studied. Actual scan times for nuclear medicine exams can take from 30 minutes to a few hours and may be conducted over multiple days.

CPT Code and PET-CT Procedure Descriptions
Wake Radiology has been a low-dose leader in the Triangle, adopting rigorous CT dose compliance and quality control standards for our outpatient facilities that go above and beyond the standards set by the ACR. Our commitment to the right dose means that minimizing radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic quality imaging is at the core of what we do.
Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools Wake Radiology offers referring providers and their patients. CT exams combine special X-ray equipment with sophisticated computers and involve small amounts of ionizing radiation. We understand the importance of balancing patient safety and radiation concerns with the need for diagnostic quality imaging, and have developed a CT program that reflects this.
Wake Radiology is known for having one of the region’s most responsible CT programs. Driven by radiologist oversight and a formal quality assurance program, we internally track dose and include it in our CT reports. Thomas Presson, MD, is the director of radiation safety programs at Wake Radiology. An interventional radiologist, Dr. Presson also serves as the radiation safety officer at WakeMed Health & Hospitals, Franklin Medical Center and Maria Parham Medical Center. If you have any questions about radiation safety at Wake Radiology, please email Dr. Presson at [email protected].
