Abstract:
SNOMED CT has an enormous number of clinical concepts and mapping to SNOMED CT is considered as the foundation to achieve semantic interoperability in healthcare. Manual mapping is time-consuming and error-prone thus making this crucial step challenging. Terminology Servers provide an interface, which can be used to automate the process of retrieving data. Snowstorm is a terminology server developed by SNOMED International. In this work, the feasibility of using Snowstorm to automate the data retrieval and mapping has been discussed.

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...
Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
