ICD-10-PCS CP1 Nuclear Medicine: Musculoskeletal System Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code prefix CP1) refers to a diagnostic procedure using radionuclide tracers to create two-dimensional images of the Musculoskeletal System. This technique helps visualize bone and joint function through planar imaging captures.

Within the Nuclear Medicine classification, these codes specify the body part imaged and the radionuclide used, such as Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) or other radionuclides. Examples include planar imaging of the Skull (codes CP111ZZ, CP11YZZ), Thorax (CP141ZZ, CP14YZZ), and Spine (CP151ZZ, CP15YZZ). Codes also cover upper and lower extremities, pelvis, or multiple combined sites like the Spine and Pelvis. The variety of codes allows precise documentation of the imaging procedure performed and the tracer used, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and billing in nuclear medicine involving musculoskeletal evaluations.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CP1 - 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 26 procedure codes in this section.
