ICD-10-PCS CD2 Nuclear Medicine: Gastrointestinal System Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging (root operation code CD2) involves creating detailed three-dimensional images of a body system using nuclear medicine techniques. This method provides functional imaging by detecting radionuclide tracers within the body.

Within the Nuclear Medicine classification, this root operation is applied specifically to the Gastrointestinal and Digestive systems. The provided ICD-10-PCS codes highlight how different radionuclides are used during imaging, such as Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (CD271ZZ), Indium 111 (In-111) (CD27DZZ), or other radionuclides (CD27YZZ and CD2YYZZ). These tomographic scans capture precise functional information about the gastrointestinal tract, aiding diagnosis and treatment planning. Accurate use of these codes ensures proper documentation of the type of radionuclide used and the imaging focus within nuclear medicine procedures.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CD2 - 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 5 procedure codes in this section.

  • CD2 - Nuclear Medicine, Gastrointestinal System, Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

  • CD271ZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Gastrointestinal Tract using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m)

  • CD27DZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Gastrointestinal Tract using Indium 111 (In-111)

  • CD27YZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Gastrointestinal Tract using Other Radionuclide

  • CD2YYZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Digestive System using Other Radionuclide
