ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System CP - Musculoskeletal System
The ICD-10-PCS root operation CP in the Nuclear Medicine section refers to procedures involving the introduction of radioactive materials into the body to study the Musculoskeletal System. This operation focuses on capturing radioactive emissions to create diagnostic images or measurements.
Specifically, Musculoskeletal Nuclear Medicine CP procedures include several imaging techniques. Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CP1) produces single-plane images based on radioactive emissions. More advanced is Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CP2), which generates three-dimensional images for detailed visualization. Alternatively, the Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe (code CP5) involves investigating the distribution or behavior of substances within the musculoskeletal system through detection or measurement of radioactive emissions, without creating images. These distinct applications allow precise diagnostic evaluation of musculoskeletal conditions using nuclear medicine techniques.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System CP - Musculoskeletal System
CP1 - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions
CP2 - 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
CP5 - 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
