B42 Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) - Lower Arteries ICD-10-PCS

About the B42 Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (code section B42) involves using specialized imaging technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of arteries within the body. This operation is classified under the Imaging section and is an essential diagnostic tool for vascular assessment.

The provided codes represent various CT Scan procedures focused on different arteries, such as the Abdominal Aorta, Celiac Artery, Superior Mesenteric Artery, Renal Arteries, and arteries of the lower extremities and pelvis. Each code specifies not only the targeted artery but also the type of contrast used during the imaging, including high or low osmolar contrast, other contrast types, intravascular optical coherence, or no contrast. For example, code B4200ZZ indicates a CT scan of the Abdominal Aorta using high osmolar contrast, while B42H1ZZ represents a CT scan of bilateral lower extremity arteries with low osmolar contrast. Accurate use of these ICD-10-PCS codes ensures precise documentation of vascular imaging procedures involving computerized tomography.
