About the CB1 Code Range
These procedures introduce radioactive material into the body and capture its emissions to create single-plane images of the respiratory system.
The fourth character identifies Lungs and Bronchi or Respiratory System. The fifth names the radioactive material: Technetium 99m (Tc-99m), Krypton (Kr-81m), Xenon 127 (Xe-127), Xenon 133 (Xe-133), or Other Radionuclide. The sixth and seventh characters are both None.
