ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System BG - Endocrine System
The ICD-10-PCS root operation BG refers to Imaging of the Endocrine System, involving diagnostic procedures that create visual representations of endocrine organs without direct contact or alteration. This operation focuses on capturing detailed internal images to support diagnosis and treatment planning.
Within the Imaging classification, several modalities are highlighted for endocrine assessment. For example, Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (BG2) uses multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation to produce reformatted, multiplanar digital images. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (BG3) captures radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in the magnetic field to generate detailed images of endocrine tissue in multiple planes. Ultrasonography (BG4) employs high-frequency sound waves to provide real-time visualization of anatomy or blood flow, valuable for evaluating endocrine glands. These specific endocrine system imaging codes enable precise documentation of non-invasive diagnostic imaging that aids clinical decision-making.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System BG - Endocrine System
BG2 - Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) - Computer reformatted digital display of multiplanarimages developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation
BG3 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar imagesdeveloped from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excitedwithin a magnetic field
BG4 - Ultrasonography - Real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from thecapture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves
