Abstract:
Reference terminologies such as SNOMED CT may have voids in their representation of concepts important to the practice of pediatrics. In this project, relevant pediatric concepts were extracted from an American Academy of Pediatrics guideline and were mapped to SNOMED CT. Concepts were identified that should be included in the standard reference terminology. A process for formally evaluating voids in reference terminologies for concepts needed in pediatric clinical decision-making is planned as a next step.

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
