ICD-10-PCS BG3 Imaging: Endocrine System Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The ICD-10-PCS root operation BG3 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) refers to the use of MRI technology to create detailed images of body parts within the Imaging section. This noninvasive procedure captures high-resolution images to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning without altering the body structures.

Specifically, within this classification, MRI is utilized for imaging the Endocrine System organs such as the Adrenal Glands, Parathyroid Glands, and Thyroid Gland. The provided codes demonstrate variations in imaging techniques including enhanced and unenhanced studies using different contrast media. For example, code BG32Y0Z represents an MRI of the bilateral adrenal glands with other contrast, both unenhanced and enhanced, while BG34ZZZ denotes a basic MRI of the thyroid gland without contrast. These specific MRI codes enable precise documentation of the imaging procedure performed on endocrine organs, facilitating accurate clinical communication and billing.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BG3 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar imagesdeveloped from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excitedwithin a magnetic field). There are a total of 10 procedure codes in this section.
