ICD-10-PCS CW5 Nuclear Medicine: Anatomical Regions Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe (code CW5) involves the use of a nuclear medicine probe to detect radiation emissions from radionuclides in specific anatomical regions without generating imaging. This is a specialized diagnostic procedure within the Nuclear Medicine section.

This root operation is applied to various body parts such as the Abdomen, Chest, Pelvis, Head and Neck, and Extremities. Different radionuclides are used depending on the probe’s purpose, including Technetium 99m (Tc-99m), Indium 111 (In-111), and other radionuclides. For example, code CW501ZZ specifies a probe of the abdomen with Tc-99m, while CW5BDZZ denotes probing of the head and neck using Indium 111. The codes differentiate both the anatomical region targeted and the radionuclide employed, allowing precise documentation of the nuclear medicine procedure without imaging capture.

Using these multiple codes correctly ensures accurate representation of diagnostic nuclear medicine studies focused on radiation detection rather than image acquisition.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CW5 - Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe (introduction of radioactive materials into the body for the study of distribution and fate of certain substances by the detection of radioactive emissions; or, alternatively, measurement of absorption of radioactive emissions from an external source). There are a total of 28 procedure codes in this section.
