ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System CF - Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas
The ICD-10-PCS root operation CF pertains to diagnostic imaging within the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas through Nuclear Medicine techniques. This operation involves introducing radioactive materials into the body to visualize these organs.
Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CF1) captures radioactive emissions to produce single-plane images, providing a two-dimensional view of the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. Alternatively, Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CF2) offers a three-dimensional image display by reconstructing multiple slices from the detected emissions, enhancing spatial detail. Both techniques assist in diagnosing functional abnormalities or diseases by highlighting physiological processes in these organ systems. Accurately coding these nuclear imaging procedures is essential for comprehensive clinical documentation and patient care management.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System CF - Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas
CF1 - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions
CF2 - 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
