Abnormal radiolog finding on antenatal screening of mother

This code signifies an abnormal finding identified during a radiological antenatal screening of a pregnant patient. This includes findings from imaging modalities such as ultrasound, MRI, or X-ray that suggest a potential issue with the fetus or the pregnancy itself, but are not yet definitively diagnosed. It represents an initial alert requiring further investigation.

Use this code when an antenatal radiological scan (e.g., routine anatomy scan, fetal MRI) reveals an anomaly or deviation from normal, but a specific fetal or maternal diagnosis has not been confirmed. Documentation should clearly state an "abnormal radiological finding" or similar language, indicating the need for follow-up.

• This is a "finding" code, not a definitive diagnosis. It should be sequenced before any confirmed fetal or maternal condition.
• Do not use this code if a specific fetal anomaly (e.g., spina bifida, congenital heart defect) has already been definitively diagnosed and coded.
• Ensure the documentation specifies the radiological modality and the nature of the abnormal finding, even if non-specific.
