  1. Hi Yongsheng Gao would you have a look at this template please when you get the chance.  I've narrowed the body structure down to 59820001 |Blood vessel structure (body structure)| as this template applies to 765173004 |Doppler ultrasonography of blood vessel (procedure)|  

    The intention was to inactivate 8306009 |Diagnostic Doppler ultrasonography (procedure)| as ambiguous and possibly equivalent to 765173004 |Doppler ultrasonography of blood vessel (procedure)| and new concept Doppler ultrasonography (procedure).  But all doppler references I am finding are to blood vessel structures so there is no need for a new generic concept?  8306009 |Diagnostic Doppler ultrasonography (procedure)| is already modeled with 59820001 |Blood vessel structure (body structure)|.  Additionally of the 184 descendants of 765172009 |Doppler ultrasound (procedure)| only 10 are not modeled with <<59820001 |Blood vessel structure (body structure)| and probably should be.

    I've removed the descriptions referring to ultrasound as Doppler ultrasound without imaging is a different procedure.

    1. Hi Elaine Wooler, I have updated the format for cardinalities as discussed at the QI meeting. I agree that most existing concepts should be modelled by blood vessels. For Doppler echocardiography, they are modelled by << |Heart structure|, e.g. Myocardial strain. There is a good reference paper at https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/01.CIR.102.10.1158

      I cannot find clinical applications other than the cardiovascular system for Doppler ultrasonography.  A single group concept |Doppler ultrasonography (procedure)| with the direct procedure site of 113257007 |Structure of cardiovascular system (body structure)| could be sufficient until other applications are identified.

      Jim Case thoughts?


  2. Yongsheng Gao

    Seems like a reasonable approach

  3. Thanks Yongsheng Gao and Jim Case

    Template and template language updated to reflect procedure site of <<113257007 |Structure of cardiovascular system (body structure)|

    1. Thanks Elaine Wooler, could you please also Doppler ultrasound scan of [body structure] as a synonym? I will archive the other Doppler ultrasonography template that has not been implemented. This template version should be 1.0. 

  4. Thanks Yongsheng Gao added the description. 

    1. Hi Elaine Wooler, the domain needs to be extended to |Doppler utrasonography|. Then, please implement the batch change to the existing content to align with this template. 

  5. Hi Yongsheng Gao

    Domain has been extended to <<1187106001 |Doppler ultrasonography (procedure)| which is a new concept.  Changes have been made manually and promoted.  Will run misaligned report and attach.
