ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System B7 - Lymphatic System
The ICD-10-PCS root operation for the Lymphatic System under the Imaging section is represented by codes that describe diagnostic imaging procedures. These procedures capture images of the lymphatic structures to assist in diagnosis without altering the body.
The specific code B70 corresponds to Plain Radiography, which involves creating a planar image by using external ionizing radiation captured on a photographic or photoconductive plate. This technique is a non-invasive method to visualize lymphatic anatomy and potential pathological changes. Using the correct ICD-10-PCS lymphatic system imaging codes like B70 ensures detailed and accurate documentation of the imaging modality employed during the diagnostic evaluation.
