## 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
--- | ---
(370129005, SCT, "Measurement Method") | CID 12227 “Echocardiography Measurement Method”
(363698007, SCT, "Finding Site") | CID 12280 “Cardiac Ultrasound Target Sites”
(260674002, SCT, "Flow Direction") | CID 12221 “Flow Direction”
(272517003, SCT, "Respiratory Cycle Point") | CID 12234 “Respiration State”
(272518008, SCT, "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
--- | ---
(399264008, SCT, "Image Mode") | CID 12224 “Ultrasound Image Modes”
(111031, DCM, "Image View") | CID 12226 “Echocardiography Image View”
