ICD-10-PCS CG2 Nuclear Medicine: Endocrine System Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging (CG2) involves creating sectional images of a body system using radioactive substances. This technique belongs specifically to the Nuclear Medicine classification and is used for detailed diagnostic visualization.

Within this classification, Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging is applied to the Endocrine System, especially for assessing glands like the Parathyroid Glands. The provided codes specify imaging performed with various radionuclides, such as Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (CG211ZZ), Thallium 201 (Tl-201) (CG21SZZ), or other radionuclides (CG21YZZ, CG2YYZZ). These codes capture the precise imaging modality and radiopharmaceutical used, offering accurate documentation essential for diagnostic and treatment planning in endocrine conditions. Utilizing these codes ensures clear communication of the procedure's technical and clinical details within nuclear medicine.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CG2 - 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.

  • CG2 - Nuclear Medicine, Endocrine System, Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

  • CG211ZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Parathyroid Glands using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m)

  • CG21SZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Parathyroid Glands using Thallium 201 (Tl-201)

  • CG21YZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Parathyroid Glands using Other Radionuclide

  • CG2YYZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Endocrine System using Other Radionuclide
