About the BN0 Code Range
These procedures make flat images of the skull, facial bones, and teeth using radiation captured on a recording plate.
The fourth character identifies the part imaged, including the eye sockets, nasal bones, lower jaw, jaw joints, and cheekbone arches. It distinguishes right, left, or both sides where listed, and a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth. The fifth character distinguishes high-osmolar, low-osmolar, other, or no contrast material. The sixth and seventh characters are both None.
