ICD-10-PCS CT2 Nuclear Medicine: Urinary System Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging, identified as CT2, refers to the use of molecular imaging techniques that produce cross-sectional images of specific body systems. This procedure is employed in the Nuclear Medicine section to visualize the function and structure of organs.

The Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging operation allows detailed investigation of the Urinary System, including the Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder. For example, code CT231ZZ specifies the use of Technetium 99m (Tc-99m), a common radionuclide, to create detailed images of these urinary components. Alternatively, codes like CT23YZZ and CT2YYZZ represent imaging performed with other radionuclides. This method enables clinicians to assess urinary tract function noninvasively through precise tomographic techniques, making it essential for diagnosis and monitoring of urinary conditions.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CT2 - 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 4 procedure codes in this section.

  • CT2 - Nuclear Medicine, Urinary System, Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

  • CT231ZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m)

  • CT23YZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder using Other Radionuclide

  • CT2YYZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Urinary System using Other Radionuclide
