ICD-10-PCS DF1 Radiation Therapy: Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas Brachytherapy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Brachytherapy (code DF1) refers to the internal application of radiation therapy directly into a targeted body region. This technique is used specifically within the Radiation Therapy classification to deliver precise treatment to localized areas.

Brachytherapy is commonly applied to the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas, including the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. The provided ICD-10-PCS codes distinguish between High Dose Rate (HDR) and Low Dose Rate (LDR) methods of brachytherapy, each utilizing various radioactive isotopes such as Cesium 137 (Cs-137), Iridium 192 (Ir-192), Iodine 125 (I-125), and others. For example, code DF1097Z specifies HDR brachytherapy of the liver using Cs-137, while code DF11B8Z represents LDR brachytherapy of the gallbladder employing Ir-192. This coding system allows precise documentation of the approach and radioactive source used in internal radiation treatment targeting complex abdominal organs.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DF1 - Brachytherapy (a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor). There are a total of 57 procedure codes in this section.
