This Editorial Guide is used for Education Purposes Only. It is used in the Authoring Courses and Certifications. It is based on the January 2026 Editorial Guide.
It may be important, from both clinical and administrative perspectives, to capture variations or modifications of imaging technique. The variations may impact correct acquisition and interpretation of images.
Examples of modifications include:
Axial (qualifier value)
Skyline projection (qualifier value)
Decubitus (qualifier value)
Post-coordination
Though these examples are qualifying values in SNOMED CT, they are not allowable for post-coordination of diagnostic imaging procedures.
