About the C25 Code Range
These nonimaging heart procedures detect radiation to study where substances go after radioactive material enters the body. They can also measure how much radiation the body absorbs from an external source.
The fourth character identifies the body part as Heart, Right and Left or Heart. The fifth identifies the radionuclide, or radioactive material, as Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) or Other Radionuclide. The sixth and seventh characters are both None.
