About the BH0 Code Range
These procedures create flat images of the breasts or mammary ducts, the channels in the breast, by capturing external ionizing radiation on a plate.
The fourth character identifies the right breast, left breast, both breasts, or single or multiple mammary ducts on either side. The fifth records the contrast material as High Osmolar, Low Osmolar, Other Contrast, or None. The sixth and seventh characters both have the qualifier None.
The Index calls breast imaging mammography and mammary duct imaging ductography or a ductogram.
