ICD-10-PCS CB2 Nuclear Medicine: Respiratory System Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging (code CB2) involves creating cross-sectional images of a body system using radioactive substances. This procedure is classified under the Nuclear Medicine section and primarily focuses on capturing detailed internal views for diagnostic purposes.

Specifically applied to the Respiratory System, these codes describe nuclear medicine imaging performed using various radionuclides. For example, tomographic imaging of the lungs and bronchi can utilize Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (code CB221ZZ) or Krypton (Kr-81m) (code CB229ZZ). Other codes include the use of different radionuclides for similar tomographic scans (codes CB22YZZ and CB2YYZZ). These detailed scans support the evaluation of respiratory conditions by providing precise sectional imaging through the application of nuclear medicine techniques.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 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). There are a total of 5 procedure codes in this section.

  • CB2 - Nuclear Medicine, Respiratory System, Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging

  • CB221ZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Lungs and Bronchi using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m)

  • CB229ZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Lungs and Bronchi using Krypton (Kr-81m)

  • CB22YZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Lungs and Bronchi using Other Radionuclide

  • CB2YYZZ - Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Respiratory System using Other Radionuclide
