ICD-10-PCS CT1 Nuclear Medicine: Urinary System Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code category CT1) refers to obtaining flat, two-dimensional images using radioactive substances to evaluate the function and structure of organs. This procedure is particularly applied within the Nuclear Medicine classification to assess various parts of the Urinary System.

Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging involves administering radionuclides like Technetium 99m (Tc-99m), Iodine 123 (I-123), or Iodine 131 (I-131) to visualize organs such as the Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder. The provided codes, including CT131ZZ for Tc-99m imaging and CT13FZZ for I-123 imaging, specify the radionuclide used and the exact urinary structures examined. Alternative radionuclides are also coded, as seen in CT13YZZ and CT1YYZZ, allowing precise documentation of the imaging modality. These codes help accurately represent diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures targeting urinary organs in a planar format.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CT1 - 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 8 procedure codes in this section.
