ICD-10-PCS B01 Imaging: Central Nervous System Fluoroscopy
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (B01) refers to using real-time imaging to visualize internal structures, particularly the Central Nervous System, through continuous X-ray techniques. This procedure helps in closely observing dynamic processes within the body.
In the Imaging section, Fluoroscopy is used specifically to examine the Spinal Cord. The codes highlight various ways to perform the imaging depending on the type of contrast used. For example, B01B0ZZ represents fluoroscopic imaging of the spinal cord using High Osmolar Contrast, while B01B1ZZ uses Low Osmolar Contrast. Other options include B01BYZZ for Other Contrast types, or B01BZZZ for fluoroscopy without contrast. Proper application of these codes ensures accurate documentation of the imaging methods employed in evaluating the central nervous system through fluoroscopy.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify B01 - 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). There are a total of 5 procedure codes in this section.
