Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of testicles, bilateral
ICD-10 R93.813 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of testicles, bilateral.
R93.813 is used to classify abnormal findings observed in diagnostic imaging studies of the testicles, specifically when both testicles are affected. These findings may include abnormalities such as masses, calcifications, or other structural anomalies that are detected through imaging modalities like ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI. The clinical significance of these findings can vary widely, ranging from benign conditions such as epididymal cysts to more serious concerns like testicular tumors or torsion. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, or changes in testicular size or shape, but in many cases, patients may be asymptomatic. The identification of abnormal radiologic findings necessitates further evaluation and potential intervention, depending on the underlying cause. Accurate coding of these findings is crucial for appropriate management and treatment planning.
Detailed clinical history, imaging reports, and correlation with physical examination findings.
Patients presenting with scrotal pain or swelling, requiring imaging to assess for underlying pathology.
Ensure that the imaging findings are clearly documented and linked to the patient's symptoms for accurate coding.
Acute care notes, imaging results, and any immediate interventions performed.
Acute scrotal pain or trauma cases where imaging is performed to rule out torsion or other emergencies.
Timely documentation is critical in emergency settings to support the urgency of the findings.
Used when imaging is performed to evaluate abnormal findings in the testicles.
Ensure that the ultrasound report details the findings and correlates with the diagnosis.
Urologists may frequently order this procedure for patients with testicular abnormalities.
Document the specific imaging findings, correlate them with the patient's clinical symptoms, and include any follow-up plans or interventions.
