ICD-10-PCS B34 Imaging: Upper Arteries Ultrasonography
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Ultrasonography (code range B34) involves using ultrasound waves to create images of vessels, primarily arteries, within the body. This diagnostic imaging technique allows for non-invasive or minimally invasive visualization without the use of radiation.
Within the Imaging section, specific ultrasonography codes document examinations of various arterial structures. Examples include standard imaging of the Thoracic Aorta (B340ZZZ) and specialized intravascular ultrasound such as Intravascular Ultrasonography of the Right Brachiocephalic-Subclavian Artery (B341ZZ3). The codes differentiate both by body part—like Left Common Carotid Artery (B344ZZZ) or Intracranial Arteries (B34RZZZ)—and by approach (intravascular or external). Accurately selecting these codes ensures precise documentation of artery-specific ultrasound studies for clinical evaluation and treatment planning.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify B34 - Ultrasonography (real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves). There are a total of 33 procedure codes in this section.
