ICD-10-PCS C22 Nuclear Medicine: Heart Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation C22 - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging refers to a specialized imaging technique that creates detailed cross-sectional views of body organs using radioactive substances. This operation falls under the Nuclear Medicine classification and is primarily used for diagnostic evaluation.

This imaging is notably applied to the Heart and its parts, such as the Myocardium (heart muscle), capturing functional and structural information. The coding examples include specific radionuclides used during the procedure, like Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) in code C2261ZZ for imaging the right and left heart, or Fluorine 18 (F-18) in C22GKZZ for the myocardium. Other radionuclides such as Indium 111 (In-111), Thallium 201 (Tl-201), and unspecified radionuclides are also included to accurately capture the type of nuclear medicine agent used. Using these codes enables precise documentation of tomographic nuclear medicine imaging procedures focused on cardiac assessment.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify C22 - 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). There are a total of 10 procedure codes in this section.
