ICD-10-PCS BB0 Imaging: Respiratory System Plain Radiography

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code BB0) refers to the use of standard X-ray imaging to capture pictures of internal structures. It belongs to the Imaging section and focuses on visualizing anatomy without invasive techniques.

Plain Radiography is employed to examine various parts of the Respiratory System, providing valuable diagnostic information. For example, codes such as BB07YZZ, BB08YZZ, and BB09YZZ specify imaging of the Right, Left, and Bilateral Tracheobronchial Trees using other contrast agents. Additionally, BB0DZZZ indicates plain radiographic imaging of the Upper Airways. These codes reflect different body parts and imaging approaches within the respiratory anatomy, highlighting the precision of ICD-10-PCS in capturing the clinical details of diagnostic procedures.
