Extension: RadiotherapyModalityAndTechnique - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for the mcode-radiotherapy-modality-and-technique extension.

1. Extension

Definition

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element.

Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
