CP-1883 Retire DCM code for Digital Mammography and replace with LOINC code Status Final Text Date of Last Update 2019/09/12 Person Assigned David Clunie Submitter Name David Clunie Submission Date 2019/01/07 Correction Number CP-1883 Log Summary: Retire DCM code for Digital Mammography and replace with LOINC code Name of Standard PS3.16 2019c Rationale for Correction: In a comment to CP-1838 it was pointed out that (46342-2, LN, "breast ffd mammogram") overlaps with (111409, DCM, "Digital Mammography"). Though (111409, DCM, "Digital Mammography") does not include in its definition the concept of "full field", its normal usage probably assumes it. On the principle that DICOM should use external sources of codes rather than define its own, 111409 is retired and its usage replaced.
