ICD-10-PCS DWY Radiation Therapy: Anatomical Regions Other Radiation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Other Radiation (code DWY) in the Radiation Therapy section refers to radiation treatments that do not fit traditional categories like external beam or systemic radiation. This operation encompasses various modalities targeting anatomical regions using specialized techniques.
Other Radiation procedures include methods such as Contact Radiation, Hyperthermia, and Plaque Radiation, applied across different body parts like the Head and Neck (DWY17ZZ
, DWY18ZZ
, DWY1FZZ
), Chest (DWY27ZZ
, DWY28ZZ
, DWY2FZZ
), and Pelvic Region (DWY67ZZ
, DWY68ZZ
, DWY6FZZ
). It also covers whole body and hemibody treatments. Additionally, isotope administration to the whole body using specific radioactive substances like Iodine 131 (DWY5GDZ
) or Strontium 90 (DWY5GHZ
) falls under this root operation. These codes allow precise documentation of various radiation therapy techniques tailored to patient and anatomical considerations.
