ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System CG - Endocrine System
The ICD-10-PCS root operation CG pertains to Nuclear Medicine procedures focused on the Endocrine System. This operation involves introducing radioactive materials into the body to assess endocrine organ function or create diagnostic images.
The CG Endocrine System codes cover different nuclear medicine techniques. For example, Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CG1) produces single-plane images by detecting radioactive emissions. Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CG2) generates three-dimensional images, enhancing visualization of endocrine structures. Additionally, Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Uptake (code CG4) measures radioactive uptake to assess organ function without creating images. These specific codes allow precise documentation of nuclear medicine procedures involving the endocrine system, supporting accurate coding and clinical communication.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System CG - Endocrine System
CG4 - Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Uptake - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for measurements of organ function, from the detection of radioactive emissions
CG2 - 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
CG1 - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions
