ICD-10-PCS BB4 Imaging: Respiratory System Ultrasonography
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Ultrasonography (BB4) refers to using ultrasound technology to create images of body structures. This operation is classified under the Imaging section and involves non-invasive scanning for diagnostic purposes.
Within this classification, Ultrasonography can be applied to various parts of the respiratory system. For example, the code BB4BZZZ is used for an ultrasound examination of the Pleura, while BB4CZZZ denotes ultrasonography of the Mediastinum. These codes highlight the procedure's ability to capture detailed images of chest structures to aid in diagnosis without surgical intervention. Employing the correct ICD-10-PCS ultrasonography codes ensures precise reporting of imaging studies in respiratory care settings.
