ICD-10-PCS CD1 Nuclear Medicine: Gastrointestinal System Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging involves capturing two-dimensional images of a body system using radionuclide tracers. This technique is part of the Nuclear Medicine section, focusing on diagnostic imaging without invasive procedures.

Within this classification, planar nuclear medicine imaging is primarily applied to the Gastrointestinal System and broader Digestive System, allowing visualization of physiological functions and structures using specific radionuclides. Examples include imaging of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract with Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (code CD151ZZ), Indium 111 (In-111) (code CD15DZZ), or other radionuclides (CD15YZZ). Codes like CD171ZZ and CD17DZZ represent similar planar imaging of the gastrointestinal tract using these agents. The ICD-10-PCS system permits precise documentation by specifying the imaged body part and radionuclide employed in the diagnostic planar nuclear medicine procedure.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CD1 - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions). There are a total of 8 procedure codes in this section.
