ICD-10-PCS B50 Imaging: Veins Plain Radiography

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code B50) refers to the imaging of veins using standard X-ray technology, often enhanced with contrast agents to visualize vascular structures clearly. This operation is part of the Imaging section and focuses specifically on various venous regions.

This root operation encompasses detailed imaging procedures across different veins, such as the Epidural Veins, Cerebral and Cerebellar Veins, and the Jugular Veins (right, left, or bilateral). Codes like B5000ZZ and B5031ZZ specify the use of contrast by osmolarity types—High Osmolar Contrast or Low Osmolar Contrast—to optimize venous visualization. Other examples include plain radiography of the Subclavian Veins, Renal Veins, and Pulmonary Veins. The use of various contrast media, including other or unspecified types (e.g., B50YZZ), allows for customized imaging tailored to clinical needs. Accurately coding these procedures ensures precise documentation of vein-targeted radiography in medical records.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify B50 - Plain Radiography (planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate). There are a total of 85 procedure codes in this section.
