The fifth character indicates the approach used to reach the procedure site (e.g., open). The sixth character indicates whether any device was used and remained at the end of the procedure (e.g., synthetic substitute). The seventh character is a qualifier that may have a specific meaning for a limited range of values.
The Nuclear Medicine section consists of 463 codes. The first character for the Nuclear Medicine section is C. The second character specifies the body system and the third character, root type, indicates the type of nuclear medicine procedure.
The Radiation Therapy section consists of 1,939 codes. The first character value for the Nuclear Medicine section is D. The second character of a code from this section specifies the body system. The third character is the root type and defines the treatment modality. The fourth character specifies the radiation treatment site. The fifth character further defines the treatment modality and the sixth character identifies the presence of any isotopes introduced into the body. The seventh character identifies whether or not the procedure was performed intraoperatively.
Nuclear medicine offers a unique ability to provide information about both the structure and function of every major organ system within the body. The ability to characterize and quantify physiologic function is what separates nuclear medicine from other types of imaging modalities. 1
The sixth character, which is specified as a qualifier, indicates unenhanced and enhanced for MRI procedures. The seventh character is also indicated by a qualifier that has a unique meaning for limited individual imaging procedures which include intravascular, transesophageal, guidance, and densitometry.
