Usage

There are 3 broad categories of tumor size measurement methods:

  1. Pathology
    • Macroscopic size from pathology report is represented by SCT 787377000 ("Gross examination and sampling of tissue specimen (procedure)")
    • Microscopic size from pathology report is represented by SCT 104157003 ("Light microscopy (procedure)")
  2. Physical exam, represented by SCT 5880005 ("Physical examination procedure (procedure)")
  3. Diagnostic imaging, represented by descendants of LOINC part code LP29684-5 ("Radiology")

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
