Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
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...

SNOMED CT is crucial for pathology terminology normalization and clinical data coding. Enhancements are needed in SNOMED CT

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Terminology Standards
  • Pathology Informatics

Background:

  • Pathology information systems are migrating from SNOMED II to SNOMED CT.
  • Terminology normalization is a strategic objective for COST Action IC0604 (EURO-TELEPATH).
  • SNOMED CT is increasingly used for concept search and clinical data coding in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of SNOMED CT in healthcare, particularly in pathology.
  • To identify challenges and propose improvements for SNOMED CT utilization in pathology reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Review of SNOMED CT usage in pathology information systems.
  • Analysis of SNOMED CT's role in structured reporting initiatives like IHE Anatomic Pathology.
  • Examination of existing SNOMED CT subsets and proposed extensions for pathology.

3D Imaging of Soft-Tissue Samples using an X-ray Specific Staining Method and Nanoscopic Computed Tomography

Published on: October 24, 2019

Main Results:

  • SNOMED CT is primarily used for concept search and coding, with some identified ontological errors.
  • The Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) initiative supports SNOMED CT in anatomic pathology structured reports.
  • Current SNOMED CT morphological abnormality sub-hierarchy requires significant extension for pathology diagnosis coding.

Conclusions:

  • SNOMED CT adoption in pathology is growing, facilitated by initiatives like IHE.
  • Development of pathology-specific SNOMED CT subsets and consensus on coding standards are essential.
  • Improving SNOMED CT is critical for feasible implementation of pathology structured reports.
