Topic: tx.fhir.org - Radlex Support

Hi @Rob Hausam Are there any plans to support Radlex in the near future? The LOINC/RSNA Playbook contains the procedures, but there are many other native RadLex values needed in the context of Radiology.

what's the license and source for radlex?
Diana_Ovelgoenne (Oct 19 2021 at 07:17):
As far as I know the license is free of charge. RadLex is licensed freely for commercial and non-commercial users. The terminology is created and mantained by RSNA (Radiological Society of North America), Can be accessed online and downloaded at http://radlex.org/

@Diana_Ovelgoenne As you see, we don't have specific current plans for RadLex. But it may definitely be worth considering providing broader support for it.

(as discussed on a related thread)

is that the most recent version? Seems pretty old?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 30 2022 at 03:02):
Do those codes not have properties or categories ? @David Simons
David Simons (Mar 30 2022 at 08:10):
Hi @Grahame Grieve
1) RadLex 4.1 is what is currently available from http://radlex.org/, and that is what we used (the xlsx download)
2) As a proof of concept, we only imported the codes, display, and any available definitions.
3) I have spoken to Christopher Carr at RSNA, with the request to put a more structural wow in place for getting RadLex published as a FHIR CodeSystem artifact, also for inclusion in tx.fhir.org.
2) Note that the HTA-endorsed URI for RadLex = url = 'http://radlex.org/'

- ok thanks
- ok thanks.
- I think people will find the structural wow to be very wowing. Should I talk to @Chris Carr ?
- oh dear. I will talk to HTA
