Urethra Plain Radiography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes plain radiographic imaging of the urethra within the urinary system using external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plates. Procedures in this group produce planar images used to evaluate urethral anatomy, detect strictures, calculi, or foreign bodies, and assess postoperative changes. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
