ICD-10-PCS CG1 Nuclear Medicine: Endocrine System Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (CG1) refers to a diagnostic procedure that creates two-dimensional images of specific endocrine organs using radioactive tracers. This operation is classified under the Nuclear Medicine section and focuses on imaging the Endocrine System.

This procedure involves administering various radionuclides to evaluate endocrine glands such as the Parathyroid Glands, Thyroid Gland, and Bilateral Adrenal Glands. For example, planar imaging of the parathyroid glands can be done using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (CG111ZZ) or Thallium 201 (Tl-201) (CG11SZZ), while the thyroid gland can be imaged with radionuclides like Technetium 99m (CG121ZZ), Iodine 123 (I-123) (CG12FZZ), or Iodine 131 (I-131) (CG12GZZ). Similar codes exist for other radionuclides and endocrine structures. Using these ICD-10-PCS planar nuclear medicine imaging codes ensures precise documentation of the imaging modality, targeted gland, and tracer used for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CG1 - 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 11 procedure codes in this section.
