### Note

1. The use of this Context Group in the Patient Orientation Code Sequence (0054,0410) of the “Nuclear Medicine Image IOD” in PS3.3 and the “Positron Emission Tomography Image IOD” in PS3.3 requires a Coding Scheme Designator value of "99SDM".

2. In a prior version of this Context Group (F-10440, SRT, "Upright body position (finding)") was specified for the concept "erect" but has been inactivated as being ambiguous, with no suitable replacement. Accordingly the NCIt concept of "upright" defined as "in a vertical position or posture" is used as a replacement.
