## 8.10 Coded Entry Data Examples

An example of a long SNOMED CT code encoding as an Item in a Sequence:

Nesting | Attribute Name | Tag | VR | Value
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
%item |  |  |  |
> | Coding Scheme Designator | (0008,0102) | SH | SCT
> | Code Meaning | (0008,0104) | LO | Invasive diagnostic procedure
> | Long Code Value | (0008,0119) | UC | 621566751000087104
%enditem |  |  |  |

### Note

SCT:621566751000087104 is not included in the SNOMED CT DICOM Subset and is not present in the SNOMED CT INT release. It is from the Canadian National Extension and is used here only as an example.
