ICD-10-PCS CV1 Nuclear Medicine: Male Reproductive System Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (CV1) refers to a diagnostic technique that captures two-dimensional images of organs using radionuclide tracers. This procedure is categorized under the Nuclear Medicine section and focuses on visualizing physiological functions rather than anatomical structure alone.

Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging is particularly useful for assessing the Male Reproductive System. The provided codes detail specific applications, such as imaging of the bilateral testicles using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (code CV191ZZ) or other radionuclides (codes CV19YZZ and CV1YYZZ). These codes emphasize the modality's role in functional imaging by highlighting the type of radionuclide used and the precise anatomical focus. Accurate coding of these procedures supports clear documentation of planar nuclear medicine imaging within the male reproductive system for diagnostic assessment.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CV1 - 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 4 procedure codes in this section.

  • CV1 - Nuclear Medicine, Male Reproductive System, Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging

  • CV191ZZ - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Bilateral Testicles using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m)

  • CV19YZZ - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Bilateral Testicles using Other Radionuclide

  • CV1YYZZ - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Male Reproductive System using Other Radionuclide
