    111030Image RegionPurpose of reference for an SCOORD Content Item that identifies a specific region of interest within an image
    113000Of InterestOf Interest.
    121080Best illustration of findingA selection of composite instances that best illustrates a particular finding.
    121112Source of MeasurementImage or waveform used as source for measurement.
    121200Illustration of ROIIllustration of a region of interest.
    121191Referenced SegmentSegment selected as a subset of a segmentation image, specifically the pixels/voxels identified as belonging to the classification of the identified segment.
    121214Referenced Segmentation FrameFrame selected from a segmentation image, specifically the pixels/voxels identified as belonging to the classification of the segment encompassing the identified frame.
    121231Volume SurfaceSurface of an identified or measured volume.
    121232Source series for segmentationSeries of image instances used as source data for a segmentation.
    121233Source image for segmentationImage instances used as source data for a segmentation.
    125201Illustration of FindingAn image that is a pictorial representation of findings. The concept is typically used as a purpose of reference to an image, such as a depiction of myocardium segments depicting wall motion function.
    126100Real World Value Map used for measurementA reference to the Real World Value Map applied to the stored image pixel values before their use for a measurement
    130401Visual explanationA visual explanation of how an algorithm produced its results.
    130488Region in SpaceA continuous part of space, not necessarily associated with a particular image.
    130489Referenced Region of Interest IdentifierA reference to an identifier of a Region of Interest.For example, the value of ROI Number (3006,0022) within an Item of Structure Set ROI Sequence (3006,0020) in an Instance of RT Structure Set Storage SOP Class.
    128180For RT WorkflowInstances available as input for a general radiotherapeutic workflow.
    128181Diagnostic Source ImagesInstances used to make a diagnosis.
    128182Segmentation ResultInstances created during a segmentation session.
    128183Registration ResultInstances created during a spatial registration.
    128184Pre-Planning ResultInstances created during preparation prior to planning.
    128185RT Prescription ResultInstances created for prescription of a radiotherapeutic treatment.
    128186Dose Calculation Image SeriesImage instances that represent an image series that is intended to be the primary input for the dose calculation. Any parameters required for dose calculation (such as electron density) is derived from this series.
    128187Coordinate Alignment Image SeriesImage instances that represent an image series from which the display coordinate system for a radiotherapeutic treatment planning is derived. Typically this series does not provide the parameters required for the dose calculation.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
