ICD-10-PCS DFY Radiation Therapy: Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas Other Radiation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Other Radiation (Code DFY) refers to specialized radiation therapy techniques applied within the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas. This procedure involves targeted delivery of radiation or hyperthermia that does not fall under conventional radiation therapy categories.

Other Radiation in the Radiation Therapy section includes various approaches such as Contact Radiation, Hyperthermia, Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT), and Plaque Radiation. For example, contact radiation, identified by codes like DFY07ZZ for the Liver and DFY17ZZ for the Gallbladder, involves direct applicator positioning on the target tissue. Hyperthermia codes such as DFY08ZZ (Liver) represent the use of elevated temperatures to enhance treatment. Intraoperative radiation therapy (DFY0CZZ for Liver) delivers radiation during surgery, while plaque radiation (DFY0FZZ for Liver) uses radioactive plaques to treat localized tumors. These other radiation codes are important for documenting specialized hepatic and pancreatic radiation treatments precisely and effectively.
