1. Very few of the SNOMED codes in CID 12001 Ultrasound Protocol Types, and none of the codes in 12002 Ultrasound Protocol Stage Types, actually exist in SNOMED. While these non-existent codes do no harm (yet), it is inappropriate for DICOM to assert them as SNOMED codes, and in fact SNOMED could use them for other concepts. [For the record, these terms were added in CP230.] 2. The codes as listed in DICOM for “Transthoracic echocardiography” and “Epicardial echocardiography” conflict with the actual codes in SNOMED, and with each other. (For the record, TTE in SNOMED is P5-B3004 but is listed in DICOM as P5-B3003 – which is the code for a different concept in SNOMED, and ECE in SNOMED is P5-B3007 but is listed in DICOM as P5-B3004). SNOMED has assigned new codes to resolve the conflict and potential ambiguity. 3. SNOMED had assigned other codes for Exercise stress echocardiography (P5-B3009), Contrast echocardiography (P5-B3008) and Fetal echocardiography (P5-B3001). SNOMED has agreed to reassign these concepts with the codes published in DICOM (P5-B3050, P5-B3090, and P5-B8215, respectively). 4. The various Stress Protocol names in CID 12001 are pre-coordinated with the term “echocardiography”, e.g., “Bruce treadmill stress echocardiography”. For other uses in stress testing we simply use a protocol name without the modality term, e.g., “Bruce protocol” (SNOMED P2-7131A). It would simplify applications if there were a common set of protocol names used across all modalities, without having to map to a different code for each modality. The pre-coordinated terms are therefore replaced by the terms of CID 3261 Stress Protocols. 5. Similarly, the various Stage names in CID 12002 are pre-coordinated with the term “image acquisition”, e.g., “Peak-stress image acquisition”. For other staged modality protocols (stress testing) we simply use a stage name, as some modalities do not acquire images. The pre-coordinated terms are therefore replaced by the terms of CID 3207 Stress Test Procedure Phases (copied from Sup128_FZ). 6. Various Stage names in CID 12002 are pre-coordinated with very specific terms for test conditions, e.g., “Image acquisition at dobutamine 50 mcg/kg/min plus atropine”. It is not clear that this is a useful or practical type of concept to be selected or entered on the imaging modality. For other uses in stress testing we rely on the protocol definition or other reporting mechanism to convey the details of the stage test conditions (see Supplement 128). These terms are retired.
