C010YZZPlanar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Brain using Other Radionuclide

C010YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the brain using an other radionuclide approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, planar nuclear medicine imaging means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions.

In plain terms, this corresponds to cerebral scan, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.11).

For a different body part, codes include C015YZZ (cerebrospinal fluid) and C01YYZZ (central nervous system).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded C0101ZZ (technetium 99m (tc-99m)).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
