ICD-10-PCS DG0 Radiation Therapy: Endocrine System Beam Radiation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code DG0) refers to the use of targeted radiation beams to treat or affect specific parts of the endocrine system. This form of Radiation Therapy directs energy to precise body parts to manage medical conditions, primarily tumors or other abnormalities within endocrine organs.

This classification covers several endocrine glands including the pituitary gland, pineal body, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, and thyroid. Various types and energies of radiation beams are employed, such as photons at different energy levels (<1 MeV, 1–10 MeV, and >10 MeV), electrons (both intraoperative and external), neutrons, and neutron capture therapy. For example, DG000ZZ represents beam radiation of the pituitary gland using photons less than 1 MeV, while DG053ZZ indicates beam radiation of the thyroid using electrons. Using these specific codes ensures accurate documentation of the targeted endocrine therapy and the radiation beam type and energy involved.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DG0 - Beam Radiation (a type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body). There are a total of 36 procedure codes in this section.
