rad-timing | http://loinc.org/property/rad-timing | The Timing/Existence property used in conjunction with pharmaceutical and manueuver properties.

Code | Description | operator | Value |
parent | Allows for the selection of a set of codes based on their appearance in the LOINC Multiaxial Hierarchy. parent selects immediate children only. For example, the code '79190-5' has the parent 'LP203413-2' | = | A Part code |
child | Allows for the selection of a set of codes based on their appearance in the LOINC Multiaxial Hierarchy. child selects immediate children only. For example, the code 'LP203413-2' has the child '79190-5' | in | A comma separated list of Part codes |
ancestor | Allows for the selection of a set of codes based on their appearance in the LOINC Multiaxial Hierarchy. ancestor includes parents transitively, e.g. 'LP203413-2' eventually has an ancestor 'LP14559-6', so the code '79190-5' is in the set of codes that have ancestor=LP14559-6 | = | A Part code |
descendant | Allows for the selection of a set of codes based on their appearance in the LOINC Multiaxial Hierarchy. descendant includes children transitively, e.g. 'LP14559-6' eventually has a descendant 'LP203413-2', so the code '79190-5' is in the set of codes that have descendant=LP14559-6 | in | A comma separated list of Part codes |
