Value Multiplicity1
Value RepresentationCode String (CS)

The type of relationship between the (enclosing) Source Content Item and the Target Content Item.

IODs specify additional constraints on Relationships (including lists of Enumerated Values).

Enumerated Values:

CONTAINS

HAS PROPERTIES

HAS OBS CONTEXT

HAS ACQ CONTEXT

INFERRED FROM

SELECTED FROM

HAS CONCEPT MOD

See Section C.17.3.2.4 for further explanation.

Section C.17.3.2.4

C.17.3.2.4 Content Sequence and Relationship Type

Content Sequence (0040,A730) provides the hierarchical structuring of the Content Tree (see Section C.17.3.1) by recursively nesting Content Items. A parent (or source) Content Item has an explicit relationship to each child (or target) Content Item, conveyed by Relationship Type (0040,A010).

Table C.17.3-8 describes the Relationship Types between Source Content Items and the Target Content Items.

Table C.17.3-8. Relationship Type Definitions

Relationship Type

Description

Definition and Example

CONTAINS

Contains

Source Item contains Target Content Item.

E.g., CONTAINER "History" {CONTAINS: TEXT "mother had breast cancer", CONTAINS: IMAGE}.

HAS OBS CONTEXT

Has Observation Context

Target Content Items shall convey any specialization of Observation Context needed for unambiguous documentation of the Source Content Item.

E.g., CONTAINER "Report" {HAS OBS CONTEXT: PNAME "Recording Observer" = "Smith^John^^Dr^"}.

HAS CONCEPT MOD

Has Concept Modifier

Used to qualify or describe the Concept Name of the Source Content Item, such as to create a post-coordinated description of a concept, or to further describe a concept.

E.g., CODE "Chest X-Ray" {HAS CONCEPT MOD: CODE "View = PA and Lateral"}

E.g., CODE "Breast" {HAS CONCEPT MOD: TEXT "French Translation" = " Sein "}

E.g., CODE "2VCXRPALAT" {HAS CONCEPT MOD: TEXT "Further Explanation" = "Chest X-Ray, Two Views, Postero-anterior and Lateral"}.

HAS PROPERTIES

Has Properties

Description of properties of the Source Content Item.

E.g., CODE "Mass" {HAS PROPERTIES: CODE "anatomic location", HAS PROPERTIES: CODE "diameter", HAS PROPERTIES: CODE "margin", …}.

HAS ACQ CONTEXT

Has Acquisition Context

The Target Content Item describes the conditions present during data acquisition of the Source Content Item.

E.g., IMAGE {HAS ACQ CONTEXT: CODE "contrast agent", HAS ACQ CONTEXT: CODE "position of imaging subject", …}.

INFERRED FROM

Inferred From

Source Content Item conveys a measurement or other inference made from the Target Content Items. Denotes the supporting evidence for a measurement or judgment.

E.g., CODE "Malignancy" {INFERRED FROM: CODE "Mass", INFERRED FROM: CODE "Lymphadenopathy", …}.

E.g., NUM: "BPD" = "5mm" {INFERRED FROM: SCOORD}.

SELECTED FROM

Selected From

Source Content Item conveys spatial or temporal coordinates selected from the Target Content Item(s).

E.g., SCOORD "POLYLINE1,1 5,10 5,10 1,10 1,1" {SELECTED FROM: IMAGE}.

E.g., TCOORD "SEGMENT 60-200mS" {SELECTED FROM: WAVEFORM}.
