ICD-10-PCS BG4 Imaging: Endocrine System Ultrasonography
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Ultrasonography (code BG4) involves using ultrasound imaging to produce visual representations of an internal body system or structure. In the Imaging section, this procedure is applied to assess the Endocrine System without any invasive intervention.
Specifically, ultrasonography codes capture the use of sound waves to examine glands such as the Right Adrenal Gland (BG40ZZZ), Left Adrenal Gland (BG41ZZZ), both adrenal glands simultaneously (BG42ZZZ), Parathyroid Glands (BG43ZZZ), and Thyroid Gland (BG44ZZZ). This noninvasive imaging approach provides crucial diagnostic information about these endocrine structures, guiding clinical decision-making while avoiding direct tissue disturbance.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BG4 - Ultrasonography (real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from thecapture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves). There are a total of 6 procedure codes in this section.
