BodyStructure

Record details about an anatomical structure. This resource may be used when a coded concept does not provide the necessary detail needed for the use case. If the element is present, it must have either a @value, an @id, or extensions

type BodyStructure implements Resource {
  identifier: [Identifier]
  active: Boolean
  morphology: CodeableConcept
  location: CodeableConcept
  locationQualifier: [CodeableConcept]
  description: String
  image: [Attachment]
  patient: Reference
  text: Narrative
  contained: [Resource]
  extension: [Extension]
  modifierExtension: [Extension]

Fields​

BodyStructure.identifier ● [Identifier] list object​

Identifier for this instance of the anatomical structure.

BodyStructure.active ● Boolean scalar​

Whether this body site is in active use.

BodyStructure.morphology ● CodeableConcept object​

The kind of structure being represented by the body structure at BodyStructure.location. This can define both normal and abnormal morphologies.

BodyStructure.location ● CodeableConcept object​

The anatomical location or region of the specimen, lesion, or body structure.

BodyStructure.locationQualifier ● [CodeableConcept] list object​

Qualifier to refine the anatomical location. These include qualifiers for laterality, relative location, directionality, number, and plane.

BodyStructure.description ● String scalar​

A summary, characterization or explanation of the body structure.

BodyStructure.image ● [Attachment] list object​

Image or images used to identify a location.

BodyStructure.patient ● Reference object​

The person to which the body site belongs.

BodyStructure.text ● Narrative object​

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it clinically safe for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

BodyStructure.contained ● [Resource] list interface​

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

BodyStructure.extension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

BodyStructure.modifierExtension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element s descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

BodyStructure.id ● String scalar​

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

BodyStructure.meta ● Meta object​

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

BodyStructure.implicitRules ● Uri scalar​

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

BodyStructure.language ● String scalar​

The base language in which the resource is written.

Interfaces​

Resource interface​

This is the base resource type for everything.
