## 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 |  |  |  |
