ICD-10-PCS CF1 Nuclear Medicine: Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (CF1) involves creating two-dimensional images of specific body parts using radionuclide tracers. This procedure is categorized within the Nuclear Medicine classification and provides functional visualization for diagnostic purposes.
This operation enables detailed imaging of the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas by detecting radioactive substances introduced into the body. For example, planar imaging of the Gallbladder can be performed using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (code CF141ZZ) or other radionuclides (code CF14YZZ). Similarly, the Liver and combined Liver and Spleen can be imaged with either Tc-99m (codes CF151ZZ, CF161ZZ) or other radionuclides (codes CF15YZZ, CF16YZZ). Broader imaging encompassing the entire Hepatobiliary System also uses these radionuclides (codes CF1C1ZZ, CF1CYZZ, CF1YYZZ). Using these precise planar nuclear medicine imaging codes ensures accurate reporting of functional diagnostic studies within nuclear medicine.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CF1 - 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 10 procedure codes in this section.
