      RadLex/LOINC are a potential source of values, however many sites use their own value sets. Current build no longer references LOINC. Committee feels that is appropriate and no further change required.

      Various levels of granularity for procedure codes are supported by current text.

      A list of the diagnostic requests that resulted in this imaging study being performed.

      Comment:

      Should recognize in the definition that most radiology services use one procedure code to combine what might be thought of as a single procedures - e.g Chest and Abdoomen CT. or worse Acute trauma series. And that in the RSNA/RadLex/LOINC Procedure names, such combined procedures are usually linked to the individual body sites and are more in a structured form that is provided in an auxiliary file from the LOINC web site, but produced by a collaborative of LOINC/Radlex RSNA.
