ICD-10-PCS BF3 Imaging: Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The ICD-10-PCS procedure Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (code root BF3) refers to the use of magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of internal organs, specifically the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas. This imaging operation is noninvasive and essential for diagnostic evaluation.

Within the Imaging classification, MRI is applied to visualize structures such as the Liver, Spleen, and Pancreas with or without contrast agents to enhance image quality. For example, codes like BF35Y0Z indicate MRI of the liver using other contrast with both unenhanced and enhanced phases, while BF36ZZZ covers MRI of the liver and spleen without contrast. Similarly, BF37YZZ denotes MRI of the pancreas using contrast. These variations allow precise documentation of the imaging technique and targeted organ, helping medical coders accurately capture the diagnostic intent in clinical settings.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BF3 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radio frequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field). There are a total of 10 procedure codes in this section.
