ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System CB - Respiratory System
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Respiratory System under the Nuclear Medicine section involves diagnostic imaging techniques that use radioactive materials to visualize lung and airway structures. This operation focuses on capturing functional and anatomical information through various imaging modalities.
This coding category includes Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CB1), which creates single-plane images by detecting radioactive emissions from introduced materials. More advanced techniques include Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CB2), providing three-dimensional images for detailed spatial assessment of the respiratory system. Additionally, Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging (code CB3) captures simultaneous radioactive emissions from opposite directions, offering precise, three-dimensional functional imaging. These respiratory nuclear medicine codes enable accurate documentation of specialized imaging procedures essential for diagnosis and treatment planning within pulmonary care.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System CB - Respiratory System
CB1 - Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions
CB2 - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for three dimensional display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions
CB3 - Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging - Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for three dimensional display of images developed from the simultaneous capture, 180 degrees apart, of radioactive emissions
