INFORMED CONSENT: Prior to the procedure in an non-coercive space, the patient
was advised as to the nature of the procedure including placement of markers,
alternatives, benefits, and risks including but not limited to bleeding, pain,
infection, scarring and non-diagnosis. The patient was encouraged to ask further
questions and those questions and concerns were addressed. The patient freely
gave informed consent without guarantees.
PREPROCEDURAL BRIEFING: The patient and technical staff were briefed as to the
correct patient, side, site, and technique of procedure and all were in
agreement to proceed.
TECHNIQUE: Sonographic imaging for lesion identification and localization.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: The skin was prepped and draped in usual sterile fashion with
ChloraPrep. Following cutaneous anesthesia with 2 mL buffered lidocaine and
additional deeper anesthesia with 4 mL buffered lidocaine with epinephrine, a
plunge incision was made. A core biopsy needle was then passed through the
plunge incision and under ultrasound visualization brought to position with core
samples obtained.
A 9 gauge needle was used.
The approach utilized was lateral to medial.
Number of core sample obtained: 2
Estimated percent of target excised: 75%
Marker shape, model, manufacturer: Marker Style: Hologic X. Marker
Specimen Radiograph: Not performed.
POST BIOPSY DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY: Following successful completion of the
ultrasound guided core biopsy, a
digital breast Tomosynthesis of the Right breast was obtained demonstrating the
target site marker in
place with 0 mm of displacement from the target site.
Pressure was held at the biopsy site and hemostasis was achieved. The skin
incision was closed with Steri-Strips. The patient was given verbal and written
post-procedural instructions. The patient tolerated the procedure well without
significant complication. In coordination with the patient and their primary
care provider, follow up and pathology review were scheduled or orchestrated to
the patient’s needs and provided in written and verbal format.
Impression:
Technically successful ultrasound-guided biopsy of the 5 mm enhancing oval
vascularized hypoechoic mass at the axillary tail location of the Right breast.
A post biopsy pathology review and addendum will follow.

injection, localization device), imaging supervision and interpretation
N6310 Unspecified lump in the right breast, unspecified quadrant
Medical coding Sample Report 2
EXAM: US GUIDE NEEDLE PLACEMENT
REASON FOR EXAM: R59.0-Axillary lymphadenopathy
ADDITIONAL HISTORY: .
TECHNIQUE: Real-time grayscale sonographic images of the thyroid gland and
associated nodule with
color/Doppler imaging.
PROCEDURE:
Patient was brought to the ultrasound suite and placed in the supine position
with the right axilla exposed. Preprocedural images demonstrated the right
axillary adenopathy and the safest and most
appropriate trajectory for biopsy was determined. The plan was reviewed with the
patient, including the risks and benefits. Risks mentioned but not limited to,
included bleeding, infection and damage to adjacent neurovascular and pulmonary
structures; patient understood the risks and decided to proceed with the
procedure. All patient questions were answered to their satisfaction prior to
biopsy. Patient provided a written and verbal consent; written consent was
placed in the patient’s chart. A timeout was performed with all staff members
present.
The right axilla was prepped and draped in the standard usual fashion. 1% local
lidocaine was infiltrated into the subcutaneous tissues under direct ultrasound
guidance. 1 pass utilizing a 25-gauge, 1.5 inch needle was performed utilizing
both aspiration and capillary action technique; this pass was performed under
direct ultrasound guidance. Following the initial fine needle aspiration, 2
18-gauge core biopsy samples were obtained through the largest most suspicious
right axillary lymph node. The samples were passed to the pathologist who was
present in the room for the examination. Following the biopsy, hemostasis was
obtained. Patient tolerated the procedure well, without evidence of immediate
complication.
Postprocedural imaging was performed demonstrating no evidence of postprocedural
complication. Patient was given discharge instructions, by our department nurse,
the patient was discharged in stable
condition.
FINDINGS:
Right axillary lymphadenopathy.
Impression:
1. Successful ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy of
the right axillary adenopathy. Await histopathological analysis.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS
1. LYMPH NODE, BIOPSY, RIGHT AXILLARY :
INCREASED NUMBERS OF CD5/CD23-POSITIVE B-CELLS, SUSPICIOUS FOR INVOLVEMENT BY
SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA/CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
CPT & ICD 10 codes:
10005 Fine needle aspiration biopsy, including ultrasound guidance; first lesion
R590 Localized enlarged lymph nodes
Medical coding Sample Report 3
EXAM: XR ARTHROGRAM SHOULDER LEFT
COMPARISON: None
REASON FOR EXAM: M25.512-Chronic left shoulder pain
TECHNIQUE: Informed consent was obtained. Patient’s left shoulder was prepped
and draped in a sterile
manner and anesthetized with 1% Lidocaine. Using fluoroscopic guidance a needle
was placed into the joint space and a mixture of 10 cc of Isovue 300, 0.2%
Ropivacaine and 0.1 cc of gadolinium was also
introduced.
FLUORO TIME (In Minutes, Seconds): 1 min and 10 seconds
FINDINGS:
Marginal osteophyte along the inferior margin of the glenohumeral joint.
There is no extravasation of contrast from the glenohumeral joint into the
subdeltoid or subacromial bursa.
Impression:
1. Degenerative spurring along the inferior margin of the humerus.
2. No rotator cuff defect identified during arthrogram.

COMPARISON: None
REASON FOR EXAM: K76.9-Liver disease
ADDITIONAL HISTORY: Cytology, c and s, Cell count.
TECHNIQUE: Real-time grayscale sonographic images were performed of the 4
quadrants of the abdomen, for
preprocedural planning. No color/spectral Doppler imaging was obtained.
PROCEDURE: The procedure was explained to the patient and informed consent was
obtained. History and physical and laboratory data were reviewed. Timeout was
performed. Ultrasound was used to localize a
pocket of fluid amenable to drainage. The skin overlying the Right lower
quadrant quadrant was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. It was
infiltrated with 1% lidocaine, and a small incision was made, through which a 5
French Yueh catheter was inserted and advanced slowly until fluid could be
aspirated into a syringe. The catheter was advanced as the inner stylet was
removed, and the catheter was
connected to a Vacutainer bottle. A total of 1700 ml of clear yellow fluid was
collected. Fluid was sent to laboratory for evaluation. The catheter was
removed, and a completion survey with ultrasound was
performed. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
FINDINGS: The initial ultrasound survey demonstrates a large quantity of
intraperitoneal free fluid/ ascites, with subsequent images demonstrating
complete resolution after paracentesis.
