The inconsistent pattern of modality and anatomy in the code meaning is present in the source coding scheme (e.g., "Whole body CT" versus "PET whole body"), and not changed, except where necessary (e.g., (42175-0, LN, "Radionuclide scan of whole body") is actually just "scan of whole body" in the source scheme, which is insufficient, so "radionuclide" has been added).
The UMLS codes that map to the SNOMED concepts, when present, are shown, in the cases when UMLS is lacking a mapping between the LOINC and SNOMED codes. E.g., (44138-6, LN, "Brain PET") maps directly to (C1715408, UMLS, "Multisection:Find:Pt:Brain:Doc:Radnuc.PET"), but (P5-0A001, SRT, "PET Brain Study") maps to (C0412493, UMLS, "PET Brain Study"), which is used instead. In general, UMLS does not unify the mappings from LOINC and SNOMED, presumably due to the lexical dissimilarity of the terms (i.e., the LOINC mapping seems to be based on the fully-specified name rather than the long common name).
