titleImportant Notes

The terminology server will only accept expressions complying to this pattern if the focus concept of the CTU expression has the following characteristics:

  • The focus concept
    • includes only one role group with a |Finding site| attribute OR
    • includes two or more role groups with a |Finding site| attribute WHERE
      • the value of the finding site attribute in each role group is the same concept
    • includes no attributes with values that are already lateralized anatomical structures (ie values whose own definitions already include a value for the 272741003|Laterality| attribute)
  • The value of the finding site attribute is a member of the
    Concept
    t723264001 |Lateralizable body structure reference set|
    • being a member of this refset means that the associated body structure is lateralizable, and does not already state a laterality other than 182353008 |Side|

Transformation of bilateral findings

When applying the concept

Concept
t51440002 |Right and left|
as the value for the 
Concept
t272741003|Laterality|
attribute, the transformation should be done in accordance with the modeling applied to the content in the International Edition of SNOMED CT. 

This means that the transformation steps described above should be applied twice; one for each lateral half, as illustrated in the example below.

Reject

The focus concept includes two groups with a |Finding site| attribute in each.

Both of the two  |Finding site| attribute values of the focus concept are lateralizable

The attribute values are not the same concept.
