ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System C7 - Lymphatic and Hematologic System

The ICD-10-PCS root operation within the Lymphatic and Hematologic System under Nuclear Medicine involves the introduction of radioactive materials into the body to gather diagnostic information. This operation focuses on capturing radioactive emissions to analyze biological functions without invasive surgery.

Specifically, the codes represent various nuclear medicine techniques: Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (C71) acquires single-plane images by detecting radioactive emissions. Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging (C72) enhances this by producing three-dimensional images for more detailed visualization. Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe (C75) uses radioactive tracers to observe distribution patterns or absorbance without producing images. Lastly, the Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Assay (C76) targets body fluids and blood elements to study physiological processes through emission detection. These nuclear medicine procedures are essential for diagnosing and monitoring lymphatic and hematologic conditions with precision.

List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System C7 - Lymphatic and Hematologic System

  • C71 - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions

  • C72 - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for three dimensional display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions

  • C75 - Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for the study of distribution and fate of certain substances by the detection of radioactive emissions; or, alternatively, measurement of absorption of radioactive emissions from an external source

  • C76 - Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Assay - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for the study of body fluids and blood elements, by the detection of radioactive emissions
