About the C02 Code Range
These procedures introduce radioactive material into the body and capture its emissions to make three-dimensional images of the central nervous system.
The fourth character identifies the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, or central nervous system. The fifth names the radioactive material: Technetium 99m, Indium 111, Iodine 123, Thallium 201, or Other Radionuclide. The sixth and seventh characters each have only the None qualifier.
