BW2 Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) - Anatomical Regions ICD-10-PCS

About the BW2 Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (BW2) falls under the Imaging section and involves using CT technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of anatomical regions. This operation is used to visualize internal structures non-invasively for diagnostic purposes.

The provided codes demonstrate the range of CT scan procedures, which can target specific body regions such as the Abdomen, Chest, Head, Neck, Pelvic Region, and combinations thereof. These scans may be performed with different types of contrast agents, including High Osmolar Contrast, Low Osmolar Contrast, or Other Contrast, and can be unenhanced or enhanced to improve image clarity. For example, code BW2000Z represents a CT scan of the abdomen using high osmolar contrast, both unenhanced and enhanced, while BW25ZZZ indicates a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis without contrast. Accurately coding these ICD-10-PCS Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) procedures ensures precise documentation of the diagnostic imaging performed on specific anatomical areas using defined imaging techniques.
