ICD-10-PCS BW5 Imaging: Anatomical Regions Other Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Other Imaging (BW5) refers to diagnostic procedures that capture images of anatomical regions using specialized techniques not classified under standard imaging methods. It is categorized under the Imaging section, highlighting its role in visualizing body parts for diagnostic purposes.

This operation includes a variety of advanced imaging approaches, such as the use of bacterial autofluorescence. For example, the code BW52Z1Z specifies other imaging of the Trunk, while BW59Z1Z refers to imaging of the Head and Neck region. Similarly, codes like BW5CZ1Z and BW5JZ1Z denote imaging of the Lower Extremity and Upper Extremity respectively, using this specialized technique. These codes enable precise documentation of unique imaging modalities that go beyond conventional radiography or ultrasound, ensuring accurate clinical records and supporting thorough diagnostic evaluations within the ICD-10-PCS framework.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BW5 - Other Imaging (other specified modality for visualizing a body part). There are a total of 5 procedure codes in this section.

• BW5 - Imaging, Anatomical Regions, Other Imaging

• BW52Z1Z - Other Imaging of Trunk using Bacterial Autofluorescence

• BW59Z1Z - Other Imaging of Head and Neck using Bacterial Autofluorescence

• BW5CZ1Z - Other Imaging of Lower Extremity using Bacterial Autofluorescence

• BW5JZ1Z - Other Imaging of Upper Extremity using Bacterial Autofluorescence
