ICD-10-PCS BF4 Imaging: Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas Ultrasonography

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Ultrasonography (code BF4) refers to imaging procedures that use high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal organs. Classified under the Imaging section, this operation focuses on providing diagnostic images without invasive techniques.

Ultrasonography is commonly applied to the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas, capturing detailed images of structures such as the Bile Ducts (BF40ZZZ), Gallbladder (BF42ZZZ), and Liver (BF45ZZZ). Some codes represent combined imaging of multiple organs, like the Gallbladder and Bile Ducts (BF43ZZZ) or the Liver and Spleen (BF46ZZZ). A comprehensive option exists for imaging the entire Hepatobiliary System (BF4CZZZ). These specific codes enable precise documentation of ultrasonography exams, supporting accurate clinical records and facilitating appropriate patient care focused on hepatobiliary and pancreatic conditions.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BF4 - 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 8 procedure codes in this section.
