ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System C8 - Eye
The ICD-10-PCS root operation for the Eye within the Nuclear Medicine section is represented by code C8, which involves diagnostic imaging techniques using radioactive materials. This operation focuses on capturing images of eye structures by detecting radioactive emissions.
Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging, coded as C81, exemplifies this operation by introducing radioactive substances into the body to create single-plane images. These images help visualize physiological functions of the eye by mapping the distribution of these materials. This method provides valuable functional information that complements traditional anatomical imaging. Utilizing such specific nuclear medicine eye codes allows precise documentation of advanced diagnostic procedures targeting the eye, crucial for clinical evaluation and treatment planning.
