Abstract

Aim: To see accuracy of radiology procedure codes for standardization and structure of radiology department

Methods: 100 cases for each procedure i.e. radiology, fluoroscopy, MRI and CT scan were selected. Request forms were reviewed and the assigned codes were compared with the films of radiology on a system called picture archiving and communication system (PACS). This system determines the appropriate coding.

Results: In this study, accurate coding in MRI, fluoroscopy, CT scan and X rays was 99%, 95%, 90% and 85% respectively according to local guidelines.

Conclusion: This study concludes that MRI has maximum accuracy i.e. 99% and x rays have minimum i.e. 85%.
