ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System C9 - Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat

The ICD-10-PCS root operation C9 refers to procedures involving Nuclear Medicine targeted at the Ear, Nose, Mouth, and Throat body system. This operation encompasses the use of radioactive materials to assist in diagnostic imaging of these anatomical areas.

C9 - Nuclear Medicine procedures involve introducing radioactive substances into the body to capture emitted radiation and create images that reveal underlying structures or conditions. A specific example within this classification is Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code C91), which produces single-plane images by detecting radioactive emissions. This technique is valuable for detailed visualization and assessment of the ear, nose, mouth, and throat, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
