ICD-10-PCS DW0 Radiation Therapy: Anatomical Regions Beam Radiation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code DW0) in the Radiation Therapy classification refers to the use of directed radiation beams to treat anatomical regions. This procedure delivers precise radiation doses to targeted body areas, commonly for cancer treatment.

The provided codes detail specific applications of beam radiation by anatomical site and radiation type. For example, radiation can be applied to the Head and Neck, Chest, Abdomen, Hemibody, Whole Body, and Pelvic Region. Different beam sources include photons of varying energy levels (<1 MeV, 1-10 MeV, >10 MeV), electrons (both intraoperative and standard), and heavy particles like protons and ions, as well as neutrons and neutron capture techniques. For instance, DW012ZZ represents beam radiation of the head and neck using photons with energy greater than 10 MeV, while DW064ZZ describes heavy particle radiation of the pelvic region. Such specificity in ICD-10-PCS beam radiation codes ensures accurate documentation of radiation therapy based on both treatment site and radiation modality.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DW0 - 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 49 procedure codes in this section.
