If the only symptom is abdomen pain for an adomen ultrasound or ct would any definitive diagnosis be considered incidental without knowing the exact location of the abdomen pain?
In this case it would depend entirely on what the findings are...I usually code findings when they are something acute and the radiologist emphasizes the findings in his results... If they find diverticulitis or an obstructing calculus, then I almost always code that first..
