This is probably as complicated for modeling anatomy as it goes, location identification for most abnormality may not require this level of detail, i.e. the aneurysm example.
Approach 1: using result location variables

|
Rowcaps |
---|
Row 1: | Shows one or more lesions have been identified in the lower limb region. |
---|
Row 2: | Shows the limb that contains lesion is the left leg. |
---|
Row 3: | Shows the major vessel that contains a lesion is the left femoro-popliteal peripheral artery. |
---|
Row 4: | Shows the lesion is found in the left popliteal artery, in the segment below the knee. Note a TULNKID is created for row 4 ONLY where TULNKID = Lesion 1. This --LNKID is used to connect this lesion to the lesion severity assessment in CV. TULNKID is created in this case as the lesion identifier, it also serves the function to connect the identified lesion to other assessments in different domains. |

Pros: | - Reusibility of the result location variables in other domains.
- Only Simplicity: there is only one location for TULOC for the Lesion Location Identification process - . Imaging location is treated as the general location for TULOC. All , and all result locations are under the RESLOC variable.
- A combination of location-related tests and location variables help to better support complex anatomical data mapping.
- Clarity of data representation
|
---|
Cons: | - there is only one result associated with the location questions.

|
Pros: | - Locationlesion location, location laterality and location details are represented as separate rows and tests.
- Not limited to a single result (i.e. located).
- TUTESTs - allowing different results
|
---|
Cons: | - The need to create lesion type-specific tests (aneurysm, calcified annuls, etc), causing an expansion of TUTESTs.
- Reusibility in other domains is limited, seeing as lesion identification should all be mapped to TU.
- Requires good understanding of lesion anatomy and the difference between TSTLOC vs RESLOC in order to map the locations properly and correctly for each test, step wise.
