ICD-10-PCS BT4 Imaging: Urinary System Ultrasonography
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Ultrasonography (code BT4) involves using ultrasound imaging technology to visualize structures within the Urinary System. This non-invasive diagnostic procedure captures images without surgical entry or radiation exposure.
Ultrasonography codes in the Imaging section specify the particular organ examined, such as the Bladder (code BT40ZZZ) or the Right Kidney (code BT41ZZZ). It also includes imaging of bilateral organs like the Bilateral Kidneys (code BT43ZZZ) and combinations such as Kidneys and Bladder (code BT4JZZZ). These detailed codes enable precise documentation for diagnostic studies performed on components of the urinary tract, including the ureters and transplanted kidneys. Accurate use of these ICD-10-PCS ultrasonography codes ensures clear communication of diagnostic imaging procedures involving the urinary system.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BT4 - 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 11 procedure codes in this section.
