Chest And Abdomen Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes computerized tomography imaging studies of the chest and abdomen that use computer-reformatted multiplanar images developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation. These procedures target the anatomical regions of the chest and abdomen to evaluate internal structures, detect pathology, and guide inpatient clinical management. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these imaging procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the precise study performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.
