ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System BD - Gastrointestinal System
In ICD-10-PCS, the root operation BD for the Gastrointestinal System refers to various Imaging techniques used to visualize internal structures for diagnostic purposes. This operation involves creating images without physically changing the body.
The Gastrointestinal System Imaging includes methods like Fluoroscopy (code BD1), which provides real-time X-ray images using a fluorescent screen, often stored digitally. Another example is Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (code BD2), which offers detailed, cross-sectional digital images by combining multiple ionizing radiation exposures. Additionally, Ultrasonography (code BD4) uses high-frequency sound waves to produce live images of anatomy or blood flow without radiation exposure. These codes enable precise documentation of noninvasive imaging procedures within the gastrointestinal tract, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System BD - Gastrointestinal System
BD1 - Fluoroscopy - Single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means
BD2 - Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) - Computer-reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation
BD4 - Ultrasonography - Real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves
