Terminology normalization is provided in the Radiology Exams widget through the following GUI elements:
The Exam column displays an exam within the patient's record. When a LOINC mapping is available, hovering over an entry in this column will display the standard used for terminology normalization for the clinical domain (LOINC), the standardized LOINC name, and the standardized LOINC code for that exam. If LOINC mappings are not available, CV will look for CPT mappings and display CPT normalization for standardized type and standardized code, if found.
The Standardized Radiology Exam column displays the standardized name for the corresponding entry in the Exam column, mapped to the LOINC standard. In addition to the standardized name, hovering over an entry in this column will display the standard used for terminology normalization for the clinical domain (LOINC), and the standardized code for that exam.
The CPT Description column provides mappings for VA records. When CPT mappings are available, this column displays the standardized type for the corresponding entry in the Exam column, mapped to the CPT standard. In addition to the standardized type, hovering over an entry in this column will display the standard type used for terminology normalization for the clinical domain (CPT), and the standardized code for that exam.
