ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System BP - Non-Axial Upper Bones

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Non-Axial Upper Bones in the Imaging classification refers to various diagnostic imaging techniques used to visualize the upper bones from non-axial perspectives. This operation supports detailed examination without performing invasive procedures.

Several specific imaging modalities illustrate this root operation, including Plain Radiography (BP0), which uses external ionizing radiation captured on photographic plates to produce planar images. Fluoroscopy (BP1) provides real-time single or bi-plane imaging displayed on fluorescent screens, which can also be digitally stored. Advanced techniques like Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (BP2) create computer-reformatted multiplanar images from multiple radiation exposures. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (BP3) captures radiofrequency signals within a magnetic field to generate detailed multiplanar images, while Ultrasonography (BP4) uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize anatomy and flow in real time. These diverse codes emphasize the breadth of diagnostic tools available for studying upper bones non-invasively.

List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System BP - Non-Axial Upper Bones

  • BP0 - Plain Radiography - Planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate

  • BP1 - 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

  • BP2 - Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) - Computer-reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation

  • BP3 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radio frequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field

  • BP4 - Ultrasonography - Real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves
