Lungs Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This procedure group comprises computerized tomography imaging of the bilateral lungs, performed using computer reformatted multiplanar images developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation. These procedures target the respiratory system to evaluate lung parenchyma, airways, and pleural spaces for diagnostic or preoperative purposes. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging modality used and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
