2026 CPT Update for Radiology and Interventional Services

Event Materials (Key Required)
The 2026 CPT update brings meaningful changes to diagnostic imaging and interventional reporting. Revised language for ultrasound and duplex studies, clearer direction for imaging performed during procedures, and updated terminology for diagnostic intent will guide how radiology and interventional services are reported in the coming year. These updates affect routine imaging, procedure guidance, and documentation used to support separate diagnostic studies.

This session is designed for professionals who support accurate and consistent reporting across radiology and IR workflows. It explains the 2026 CPT changes in practical terms, applies them to realistic imaging and procedural examples, and highlights how documentation should reflect the updated definitions. Participants will learn how to apply revised CPT terminology, identify when separate imaging may be reported, and use the new guidance with confidence in day-to-day coding and reporting.

Dedicated to radiology and interventional coding teams, physicians, technologists, and clinical documentation professionals, this program provides clear direction on how to use the 2026 CPT updates with accuracy and consistency across the radiology and IR spectrum.
