Rows 1-2:I examined the image of the thoracic region (test location) and found an aneurysm in the Thoracic Aorta (result location) spanning from the aortic arch to the descending aorta (result location detail). In this case result location detail further qualifies both ORRES and RESLOC, hence this is a variable qualifier.
Rows 3-4:I examined the image of the thoracic region (test location) and found that the descending aorta (result location) had dissected (the artery is tore and a false lumen had formed), most likely due to the enormous pressure caused by the large aneurysm in this area.
Rows 5-6:I examined the image of the abdominal region (test location) and found an aneurysm in the infrarenal aorta (result location), proximal to the iliac bifurcation (result location detail). In this case result location detail is a variable qualifier for the result, I am trying to say that the aneurysm is located in the segment of the infrarenal aorta closer (proximal) to the iliac bifurcation.
Rows 7-8:I examined the image of the abdominal region (test location) and found that the infrarenal aorta (result location) had dissected.

Note for Tumor Findings, it is recommended not to populate TRLOC because locations of tumors have been identified in TU. Should this rule be followed for non-tumor lesion?

Row 1:I measured the diameter of the thoracic aortic aneurysm where LNKID = Aneurysm 1.
Row 2:I measured the diameter of the abdominal aortic aneurysm where LNKID = Aneurysm 2.

The subject had a MRI that scanned his torso, from chest to abdomen.

Should PRLOC be "torso", or "chest" and "abdomen"? The places where you point the probe to, are they locations of the procedure?

The MRI scan produced cross-sectional images of the thoracic and abdominal regions of the subject. The evaluator then examined the MRI images of the thoracic region and abdominal region, and found the presence of a large AAA, and an aneurysm in the left renal artery, but the absence of TAA.

Row 1:I examined the MRI image of the thoracic region (test location) and didn't find the presence of an aneurysm.
Rows 2-3:I examined the MRI image of the abdominal region (test location) and found an aneurysm in the left (Result LAT) renal artery (Result Loc).
Rows 4-5:I examined the image of the abdominal region (test location) and found an aneurysm in the infrarenal aorta (Result Loc).

The problem with the way TU is set up now, which is originally designed for tumor identification, and you only care about "already identified tumors", is that it only allows the creation of positive records. It doesn't allow the creation of a "pertinent negative" record. If I were to model case 2 in TU the way TU is designed now, I would lose the ability to represent the negative record for the Thoracic Region as shown above because an aneurysm is not identified in this region.  This is also in part, due to the fact that the location where an object is found, is mapped to PRLOC instead of TULOC, thusly not allowing the representation of imaging location in findings.
