Because of the wide variety of congenital issues in fetal and pediatric cardiology, DICOM identifies these findings primarily with post-coordination. The concept name of the base Content Item typically specifies a property, which then requires an anatomic site concept modifier.

Concept Name of Modifier	Value Set
(370129005, SCT, "Measurement Method")	CID 12227 “Echocardiography Measurement Method”
(363698007, SCT, "Finding Site")	CID 12280 “Cardiac Ultrasound Target Site”
(260674002, SCT, "Flow Direction")	CID 12221 “Flow Direction”
(272517003, SCT, "Respiratory Cycle Point")	CID 12234 “Respiration State”
(272518008, SCT, "Cardiac Cycle Point")	CID 12233 “Cardiac Phase”
(121401, DCM, "Derivation")	CID 3627 “Measurement Type”
