There is inconsistency with naming Radiology of X vs X-ray of X and modeling of X-ray concepts. Preliminary analysis has been completed and a new approach recommended. Remodeling is pending.
Approach 1: Radiography of X
- FSN: Radiography of X (procedure)
- PT: Radiography of X
For example,
Approach 2: X-ray of X
- FSN: X-ray of X (procedure)
- PT: X-ray of X
For example,
Diagnostic radiography
363680008 | Radiographic imaging procedure (procedure) | is at the top-level of the hierarchy of imaging procedures utilizing X-rays. The phrase diagnostic radiography is allowed as an FSN of subtypes of radiographic imaging procedure.
For example,
Inactivated concept
Diagnostic radiologic examination (procedure) had a synonym of X-ray. It may have been interpreted more narrowly, because of the potential for a narrower interpretation of radiologic vs. radiographic and diagnostic.
Modeling: New content requests
An X-ray concept may have the action, 312254007 | Plain X-ray imaging - action (qualifier value)| or the broader supertype action, 278110001 | Radiographic imaging - action (qualifier value)| . A submitter should clearly identify which of the actions is appropriate.
