About the C01 Code Range
These procedures introduce radioactive material into the body to produce single-plane images of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, or central nervous system. The images come from captured radioactive emissions.
The fourth character identifies the body part or fluid imaged. The fifth identifies the radioactive material: Technetium 99m (Tc-99m), Indium 111 (In-111), or Other Radionuclide. The sixth and seventh characters are both None.
