 |

| 30 |  ;;In reporting structural changes to the lungs for the Regional
 | 
|---|
| 31 |  ;;Office disability evaluations, the residuals are critical
 | 
|---|
| 32 |  ;;(e.g., fibrosis, scarring, absent or resected parts, limitation
 | 
|---|
| 33 |  ;;of expansion of the chest or excursion of diaphragm, presence
 | 
|---|
| 34 |  ;;of bullet or missile in lung, granuloma).
 | 
|---|
| 35 |  ;;
 | 
|---|
| 36 |  ;;The Rating Schedule requires a pulmonary function test (PFT) in
 | 
|---|
| 37 |  ;;certain lung diseases.  In the majority of the cases, PFTs and a
 | 
|---|
| 38 |  ;;thorough description of the veteran's exercise tolerance will be
 | 
|---|
| 39 |  ;;sufficient for rating evaluation purposes.  If such tests are, in
 | 
|---|
| 40 |  ;;the examiner's opinion, not needed or medically contraindicated,
 | 
|---|
| 41 |  ;;the examiner should explain why.  Generally, PFTs need not be
 | 
|---|
| 42 |  ;;repeated if recent studies (within the past six months) are of
 | 
|---|
| 43 |  ;;record. If the examiner feels that an arterial blood gas test is
 | 
|---|
| 44 |  ;;appropriate for diagnostic purposes, the results should be reported
 | 
|---|
| 45 |  ;;in paragraph E below.
