ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System DU - Female Reproductive System
The ICD-10-PCS root operation DU represents Radiation Therapy applied to the Female Reproductive System. This operation involves using targeted radiation to treat diseases, primarily cancer, in specified reproductive organs.
Radiation Therapy for the female reproductive system includes several methods documented by specific codes. Beam Radiation (DU0) directs high-energy rays at cancer from outside the body. Brachytherapy (DU1) involves placing radioactive material such as seeds or catheters directly into or near a tumor for internal radiation. Another approach, Stereotactic Radiosurgery (DU2), uses advanced equipment to deliver a precise, high radiation dose in a single session. The category also allows for Other Radiation types (DUY) when they don’t fit standard classifications. These codes ensure accurate reporting of radiation treatments specific to the female reproductive organs, aiding in clinical documentation and treatment planning.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System DU - Female Reproductive System
DU0 - Beam Radiation - A type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body
DU1 - Brachytherapy - A type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor
DU2 - Stereotactic Radiosurgery - A type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor
