Problem Statements

We started working on the TU/TR domains when this question was raised: if an abnormality can be considered as a lesion, should it be modeled in using the TU/TR structure? This question came from modeling aneurysm data from the cardiovascular TA projects, where the aneurysm data were originally mapped to the CV domain and discussions had taken place on whether it should be mapped to TU/TR. We then noticed modeling inconsistencies between tumor vs non-tumor lesion findings data: Tumors During our attempt to model the aneurysm and other related CV data to TU/TR, we noticed that: tumors are neoplastic lesions while an aneurysm can be considered as a non-neoplastic, cardiovascular lesion. They all are considered as lesions, why is the modeling for the two types of lesions so different and inconsistent in TU?

The concept map below describes the modeling discrepancies between tumor and non-tumor lesions. Note the dotted lines and boxes indicate a step that didn't happen and data not modeled.
