Modeling new content requests
All requests for new imaging-related content must clearly specify an imaging action, for example, computed tomography, plain X-ray, fluoroscopy, etc.
Radiographic imaging is a broad term that encompasses several types of imaging studies that use ionizing radiation for visualization of internal parts of the body using X-ray techniques (for example, computed tomography) and is therefore a grouping concept. New content requests using the phrase Radiographic imaging of and/or submissions requesting a Method (attribute) of 278110001 |Radiographic imaging - action (qualifier value)| will not be accepted for the international edition of SNOMED CT.

For example,
Concept t 49345004 |Radiography of hand (procedure)|
Approach 2: X-ray of X

The X is capitalized, and the description case sensitivity is Only initial character case insensitive.
The following are acceptable synonyms:

These synonyms are only added on request or have been retained as active synonyms where they are already published. They are not routinely included as synonyms for the international edition. |
The following patterns are no longer permitted for any new descriptions, neither FSN nor synonyms:
- Radiography of X
- For example, Radiography of hand (procedure)
- FSN: X-ray of X (procedure)
- PT: X-ray of X
- For example,

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. |
