## VV.3 Measurement Terminology Composition

Because of the wide variety of congenital issues in fetal and pediatric cardiology, DICOM identifies these findings primarily with post-coordination. The concept name of the base content item typically specifies a property, which then requires an anatomic site concept modifier.

Concept Name of Modifier | Value Set
--- | ---
(G-C036, SRT, "Measurement Method") | CID 12227 “Echocardiography Measurement Method”
(G-C0E3, SRT, "Finding Site") | CID 12280 “Cardiac Ultrasound Target Sites”
(G-C048, SRT, "Flow Direction") | CID 12221 “Flow Direction”
(R-4089A, SRT, "Respiratory Cycle Point") | CID 12234 “Respiration State”
(R-4089A, SRT, "Cardiac Cycle Point") | CID 12233 “Cardiac Phase”
(121401, DCM, "Derivation") | CID 3627 “Measurement Type”

Further qualification specifies the image mode and the image plane using HAS ACQ CONTEXT with the value sets shown below.

Concept Name | Value Set
--- | ---
(G-0373, SRT, "Image Mode") | CID 12224 “Ultrasound Image Modes”
(111031, DCM, "Image View") | CID 12226 “Echocardiography Image View”
