Description
BodyStructure currently contains:
location 0..1
locationQualifier 0..*
Real world usage (from mCODE) indicates that:
- a bodyStructure without a location isn't meaningful
- a BodyStructure can consist of multiple locations. For example, adjacent structures that comprise a single volume with a single planned dose during radiotherapy.
- it is common practice in cancer registry data to split the qualifier into a laterality qualifier, and a general location qualifier.
Therefore, we propose that the location and locationQualifier fields be eliminated in favor of a backbone element with 0..* cardinality comprising:
- location 1..1
- laterality 0..1
- qualifier 0..*
