ICD-10-PCS BG2 Imaging: Endocrine System Computerized Tomography (CT Scan)
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (code BG2) involves obtaining cross-sectional images of the Endocrine System using CT technology. This imaging technique provides detailed visualization of internal structures without invasive procedures.
Within the Imaging section, computerized tomography is utilized to assess specific endocrine organs such as the Adrenal Glands, Parathyroid Glands, and Thyroid Gland. The provided codes indicate variations based on the use and type of contrast agents—including High Osmolar, Low Osmolar, and Other Contrast—and whether imaging is done unenhanced, enhanced, or both (e.g., BG2200Z for CT of bilateral adrenal glands using high osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhanced). Further, some codes describe scans performed without contrast (e.g., BG22ZZZ). These distinctions in contrast and bilateral or specific gland imaging allow accurate documentation of the diagnostic CT procedures targeting endocrine organs, essential for precise clinical coding and effective patient management.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BG2 - Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (computer reformatted digital display of multiplanarimages developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation). There are a total of 22 procedure codes in this section.
