Understanding ICD-10-PCS Table C02 (Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Central Nervous System)

The ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Coding System) is utilized in U.S. healthcare settings for reporting inpatient hospital procedures. Table C02 belongs to the Nuclear Medicine section, specifically addressing procedures within the Central Nervous System body system, and focuses on the root operation of Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging.

A complete 7-character ICD-10-PCS code from this table is constructed as follows:

  • Character 1 (Section): C - Nuclear Medicine
  • Character 2 (Body System): 0 - Central Nervous System
  • Character 3 (Root Operation): 2 - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging
  • Character 4 (Character 4): Specifies the exact body part involved in the tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging.
  • Character 5 (Character 5): Defines the technique (e.g., Open, Percutaneous) used to reach the procedure site.
  • Character 6 (Character 6): Indicates if a device was used during the tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging and its type.
  • Character 7 (Character 7): Provides additional specific information or clarifies the procedure.

Accurate assignment of each character based on the operative report and the detailed definitions within the ICD-10-PCS system is essential for correct coding. This page lists all valid options and combinations for table C02 according to the 2025 ICD-10-PCS guidelines.
