The best is if you select the correct terminology code for all your segments:
This ensures that there are no typos or inconsistent spelling. There might be anatomical structures that you are interested in but not included in the default terminology. In this case, you can keep using just “Tissue” as property type and use the “Name” field consistently to identify the structure - and send the segment name and SNOMED CT terminology code to @diazandr3s
How to get the SNOMED CT terminology code:
- Go to SNOMED CT browser, accept the license agreement
- Click “Go browsing international edition”
- Check the “body structure” checkbox on the left side in “Filter results by Semantic Tag” section
- In the search box, type the structure you segment - for example:
masseter
- Click on the relevant item in the list below, for example
Left masseter muscle
. Tip: ignore the items that start withEntire
word (it has a special meaning that it is not used in DICOM), instead select the item that has description starting withStructure of
or ends withstructure
. - The information that you need are the structure name and SCTID values that are displayed on the right side in “Concept details” section, For example,
left masseter muscle
