Understanding ICD-10-PCS Table CB3 (Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging of Respiratory System)

The ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Coding System) is utilized in U.S. healthcare settings for reporting inpatient hospital procedures. Table CB3 belongs to the Nuclear Medicine section, specifically addressing procedures within the Respiratory System body system, and focuses on the root operation of Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging.

A complete 7-character ICD-10-PCS code from this table is constructed as follows:

  • Character 1 (Section): C - Nuclear Medicine
  • Character 2 (Body System): B - Respiratory System
  • Character 3 (Root Operation): 3 - Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging
  • Character 4 (Character 4): Specifies the exact body part involved in the positron emission tomographic (pet) imaging.
  • Character 5 (Character 5): Defines the technique (e.g., Open, Percutaneous) used to reach the procedure site.
  • Character 6 (Character 6): Indicates if a device was used during the positron emission tomographic (pet) imaging and its type.
  • Character 7 (Character 7): Provides additional specific information or clarifies the procedure.

Accurate assignment of each character based on the operative report and the detailed definitions within the ICD-10-PCS system is essential for correct coding. This page lists all valid options and combinations for table CB3 according to the 2025 ICD-10-PCS guidelines.
