R93.3: Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other parts of digestive tract
Images were taken from inside your body. Using these images, a change has been identified in your esophagus, stomach or intestine.
There are various examinations. The examination depends on which tissue you would like to assess more closely. An X-ray examination or CT scan is particularly good at recognizing bones, for example. Images can also be created using ultrasound. This allows your internal organs such as the heart or liver to be assessed easily.
If a change is identified, you do not necessarily have any symptoms.
Additional indicator
On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.
- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
- A: Excluded diagnosis
- L: Left
- R: Right
- B: Both sides
