DescriptionAn incidental or ambiguous finding of an anomaly on radiological examination that deviates from what is expected or normal within an identified body structure or region.
Use

Use to record an incidental or ambiguous finding of a single anomaly on radiological examination that deviates from what is expected or normal within an identified body structure or region.

If more than one anomaly has been identified within the context of the same body structure or region, use a separate instance of this archetype to describe each anomaly.

The intended scope for this archetype is to record detailed findings about an anomaly using any modality. It is anticipated that specific CLUSTER archetypes will be developed in the future to record common abnormal radiological findings, such as fractures. If a specific archetype to record the anomaly is not available, use this generic archetype to record relevant findings.

Until the specific archetypes are developed, current use cases include, but are not limited to:

  • a large, mixed solid/cystic lesion containing teeth and hair, identified within the ovary - for example, a dermoid cyst;
  • a solid mass identified within the right upper lobe of the lung - for example, a past infection scar or a tumour;
  • a calcified lesion identified within the left kidney - for example, a kidney calculus; or
  • a soft tissue mass identified within the heart - for example, a thrombosis.

This archetype is designed to be nested within the 'Additional details' SLOT in any of the CLUSTER.imaging_exam family of archetypes which will provide the context for the anomaly, but can also be used within other ENTRY or CLUSTER archetypes, where clinically appropriate.

MisuseNot to be used to record findings that are reasonably anticipated for a specified body structure or region. Use specialised archetypes from the CLUSTER.imaging_exam family or the generic CLUSTER.imaging_exam archetype for this purpose. Not to be used to record details related to the overall findings, context or technical details related to a complete imaging examination test result. Use the OBERSERVATION.imaging_exam_result for this purpose. For example, comments on the study quality, differential diagnoses, and overall impression.
PurposeTo record an incidental or ambiguous finding of a single anomaly on radiological examination that deviates from what is expected or normal within an identified body structure or region.

items
Body structureBody structure: Identification of the body structure or region examined.
For example: 'Liver', 'Right ankle' or 'Lymph node group'. Coding of the body structure with an appropriate terminology, such as SNOMED CT, is recommended. If the body structure has been fully identified in this 'Body structure' element, then the 'Body site' data element and 'Structured body site' SLOT become redundant.
Body siteBody site: Identification of the area of the body under examination.
For example: a lymph node group (body structure) which found in the 'Right axilla'. Coding of 'Body site' with a terminology, such as SNOMED CT, is desirable. If the body site has been fully identified in the 'Body structure' data element, this data element becomes redundant.
Structured body siteStructured body site: Structured details about the area of the body under examination.
For example: details about a relative anatomical location, such as '2cm distal to the appendix'. If the body site has been fully identified in the 'Body structure' or 'Body site' data elements, then this SLOT becomes redundant.
Include:
openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.anatomical_location.v1 and specialisations or
openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.anatomical_location_relative.v2 and specialisations or
openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.anatomical_location_circle.v1 and specialisations
Imaging findingsImaging findings: Narrative description of the imaging findings observed during this examination.
Additional detailsAdditional details: Additional structured details about imaging findings for the identified body structure or region, or findings of related structures.
Include:
openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.imaging_exam-lymph_node.v0 and specialisations or
openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.imaging_exam-lymph_node_group.v0 and specialisations or
openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.imaging_exam-anomaly.v0 and specialisations
ImpressionImpression: Single word, phrase or brief description that represents the clinical meaning and significance of all imaging findings for the identified body structure.
Also referred to as 'Interpretation' or 'Opinion'. For example: 'No abnormality detected' or 'Free fluid present'. Coding of the 'Impression' with a terminology is permitted, if useful. Multiple occurrences allow for more than one coded impression. A narrative description may include a comparison with previous studies of the identified body structure, if appropriate.
CommentComment: Additional narrative about the imaging findings of the body structure, not captured in other fields.
LabelLabel: A label for the anomaly.
Use to differentiate one anomaly from another when there is more than one present within the context of the same body structure or region.
TypeType: The type of anomaly.
Coding of the anomaly with an external terminology is preferred, where possible. For example, a cyst or nodule from the SNOMED 4147007 | Mass (morphologic anomaly) | hierarchy.
(Dimension)(Dimension): A measured dimension of the anomaly.
This data element has unlimited occurrences to allow for measurements in 2 or more axes. If there is no clear orientation of the anomaly, for example length vs width vs height, use multiple occurrences to allow recording of the length of 2 or more axes without any specific orientation, for example 3 x 4 x 5 mm.
Property: Length
Units:
  • >=0.0 mm
  • >=0.0 cm

Runtime name constraint:
  • Length [The measured length of the longest edge or aspect of the anomaly.]
  • Width [The measured length of widest aspect of the anomaly, usually perpendicular to the length or the measured length of the second side of two sides.]
  • Height [The measured length of the vertical aspect of the anomaly, from the base to the top.]
  • Depth [The measured length of the third aspect of the anomaly, usually perpendicular to the length and width or measurement of the vertical aspect of the anomaly from the surface to the base. May also known as thickness.]
  • Diameter [The measured length of the anomaly from edge to edge, usually of an approximately round or oval anomaly, passing through its centre.]
ShapeShape: The contour or silhouette of the anomaly.
TextureTexture: The texture or consistency of the anomaly.
MarginMargin: The border or outline of the anomaly.
For example: 'Well-defined' or 'Diffuse'.
CalcificationCalcification: Presence of calcification in the anomaly.
  • Present [Calcification is observed.]
  • Absent [Calcification is not observed.]
Calcification descriptionCalcification description: Description about the pattern of calcification observed.
The pattern of calcification can be coded if desired - for example a SNOMEDCT code from the 129748009 | Radiographic calcification finding (finding) | hierarchy.
EffectEffect: Narrative description about the effect of the anomaly on surrounding structures.
For example: presence of an echo shadow behind the anomaly or that it is distorting adjacent structures.
VascularisationVascularisation: Assessment of the blood flow to the anomaly.
For example: Doppler score 0/None; Doppler score 1/ Mild; Doppler score 2/Moderate; or Doppler score 3/Marked.
Vascularisation descriptionVascularisation description: Narrative description about the blood flow to the anomaly.
