Question:
Kevin Luh:
Hi guys,
According to AAPC's study materials:
A KUB is often referred to on reports and in prep for abdominal surgery. The KUB is also referred to in the CPT codebook. However, if you try to locate a KUB (or a flat plate abdomen, as they are sometimes called), you will not find the code by looking in the index or reading through the radiology section. A KUB is reported with 74000 Radiological examination, abdomen; single anteroposterior view.
KUB stands for kidneys, ureter, and bladder. How does this abbreviation's meaning fit into the statements above?
Does anyone understand this?
Answer:
Kevin Luh:
I did some more research. KUB (kidneys, ureter, and bladder) is a general x-ray of the midabdominal section.
Thanks.
Alicia Scott:
I was going to mention that Kevin but as you are pointing out this is a hard one because if you don't know A&P you won't have a clue. This is learned...
Thanks for bringing it up.
Kevin Luh:
Of course!
