Imaging-guided procedures

Imaging guidance can be modeled using the Has intent (attribute). The concept 429892002 |Guidance intent (qualifier value)|, a child of 363675004 |Intents (nature of procedure values) (qualifier value)|, is the value for the Has intent (attribute) for imaging-guided procedures. 

For example, 

• • 432666003 |Biopsy of brain using computed tomography guidance (procedure)| has two relationship groups:
    • Group 1: 
      • Method (attribute) of Biopsy - action (qualifier value)
      • Procedure Site - Direct (attribute) of Brain structure (body structure)

• • • Group 2:
      • Procedure Site - Direct (attribute) of Brain structure (body structure)
      • Method (attribute) of Computed tomography imaging - action (qualifier value)
      • Has intent (attribute) of Guidance intent (qualifier value)

Fluoroscopic guidance

X using fluoroscopic guidance (procedure) is a subtype of Fluoroscopy (procedure).

For example,  

• •   710291004 |Endoscopy using fluoroscopic guidance (procedure)| has the following relationship groups
    • Group 1:
      • Using device (attribute) of Endoscopic device (physical object)
      • Method (attribute) of Inspection - action (qualifier value)

• • • Group 2:
      • Method (attribute) of Fluoroscopic imaging - action (qualifier value)
      • Has intent (attribute) of Guidance intent (qualifier value)
