Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct code for this procedure is B31H1ZZ, which represents a diagnostic radiology procedure of the aorta and upper extremity arteries using low-osmolar contrast. Option A (B30H1ZZ) is incorrect because it does not correctly specify the area imaged (aortography and right upper extremity arteries). Option C (B31HZZZ) is incorrect because it does not include the specific type of procedure (aortography).
