ICD-10-PCS Code For Lungs And Bronchi: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group CB22 includes procedures performed to image respiratory structures in the lungs and bronchi using tomographic nuclear medicine techniques. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when three-dimensional nuclear medicine imaging with introduced radioactive materials is performed to evaluate lung ventilation, perfusion, or other pulmonary function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS CB22 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Lungs And Bronchi Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes tomographic nuclear medicine imaging studies of the lungs and bronchi that capture three-dimensional images from radioactive emissions. These studies target the respiratory system and use introduced radiopharmaceuticals to visualize ventilation, perfusion, or other functional processes. Accurate coding ensures inpatient records reflect the specific imaging technique performed and supports correct case mix assignment and payment.
