How to category imaging test

[SCYou (Seng Chan You)]

@caihaoyan We need to discuss how to standardize concept_ids for imaging procedures.

As I mentioned, I want OHDSI to use RadLex for this effort, which was developed by RSNA.

RadLex and Standardization of ontology for radiology procedures

Regardless what domain (Measurement or Procedure) it comes from, I think the MRI (and other imaging) results should be first stored in Note or Note_NLP table and then use established NLP algorithm to convert them into SNOMED or ICD codes and then stored them in Condition domain with Condition_type_concept_id “NLP derived”. My 2 cents

Currently, some of RadLex code is incorporated into LOINC and OMOP measurement code (LOINC-RSNA).
