propertyArMass  =  Mass/Area
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemXXX>Bone
scaleQn  =  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

last updated2.73
last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonChanged System from "XXX bone" to "Bone" for conformance with the LOINC/Radlex unified model. Changed the Method from "XR.DXA" to "DXA" for conformance with LOINC/RadLex unified model. Changed System from "Bone" to "XXX>Bone" for conformance with the LOINC/Radlex unified model.; Updated Property name from "MAric" to "ArMass" to be consistent with other mass per area terms.; Updated Component from "Bone density" to "Views for bone density" based on the LOINC/Radlex unified model.
