About the BR2 Code Range
These CT scans use radiation exposures to create computer images from different angles of the spine or pelvis. The sites also include the sacroiliac joints, sacrum and coccyx.
The fourth character identifies the site: cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine; pelvis; sacroiliac joints; or sacrum and coccyx. The fifth character distinguishes high osmolar, low osmolar or other contrast from no contrast. The sixth and seventh characters have no additional qualifier.
