| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||||

| first released | |||||
| last updated | 2.64 | ||||
| last change type | NAM - change to Analyte/Component | ||||
| change reason | Changed the Method from "XR.DXA" to "DXA" for conformance with LOINC/RadLex unified model.; Updated Property name from "MAric" to "ArMass" to be consistent with other mass per area terms.; Updated System from "Hip.left" per LOINC/RadLex unified model; Updated Component from "Bone density" to "Views for bone density" based on the LOINC/Radlex unified model. | ||||
