ICD-10-PCS DGY Radiation Therapy: Endocrine System Other Radiation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Other Radiation (code prefix DGY) refers to the application of radiation therapies that do not fall under conventional radiation methods. This operation applies within the Radiation Therapy classification and targets specific endocrine system structures using specialized radiation techniques.
Other Radiation procedures involve diverse approaches such as Contact Radiation, Hyperthermia, and Plaque Radiation. These methods allow for focused treatment of endocrine organs, including the Pituitary Gland (codes DGY07ZZ, DGY08ZZ, DGY0FZZ), Pineal Body (DGY17ZZ, DGY18ZZ, DGY1FZZ), Adrenal Glands (DGY27ZZ, DGY28ZZ, DGY2FZZ), Parathyroid Glands (DGY47ZZ, DGY48ZZ, DGY4FZZ), and Thyroid (DGY57ZZ, DGY58ZZ, DGY5FZZ). These codes capture precise radiation therapies tailored to glandular targets, reflecting both the procedural approach and location, which is critical for accurate coding and clinical documentation within radiation oncology.
