Note

E.g., the SNOMED and FMA codes for a structure of the breast, (76752008, SCT, "Breast") and (57983, FMA, "Breast") would be considered equivalent. Neither would be equivalent to concepts that pre-coordinated other aspects such as laterality, e.g., (80248007, SCT, "Left breast"), or entire body organ, e.g., (181131000, SCT, "Entire breast").

• when different representations of the same concept are present in a standard coding scheme, such as the SNOMED-CT and SNOMED-RT and CTV3 style identifiers,

• when the same concept is present in different standard coding schemes, but considered by the creating system to be synonymous, such as anatomical concepts from SNOMED and FMA, and

• when the same concept is present in a local as well as a standard coding scheme, but considered by the creating system to be synonymous, such as a local private procedure code and the same concept in LOINC or SNOMED or RADLEX.
