Modifier 50 on chest for both sides?
when coding chest xray for both sides of the chest, do we add modifiers LT and RT or just modifier 50?

chest x-ray
The code describes the views taken, no modifier. A chest x-ray, example, PA and Lateral is both lungs.

One code, no modifier. The chest x-ray visualizes both lungs
