Clinical

The upper boundary or maximum allowable value for a measured parameter captured during or associated with a sonographic imaging procedure, such as maximum fetal measurement, Doppler velocity, or image acquisition threshold. Used in clinical decision support and quality review workflows to flag values exceeding defined reference ranges.

The patient's facility-assigned medical record number associated with a sonographic imaging encounter. Used to link the ultrasound order, study, and results to the correct patient chart within the EHR, radiology information system, and billing platform, ensuring continuity and accuracy of the patient's longitudinal imaging history.

The patient's middle name or initial as recorded in association with a sonographic imaging encounter. Used alongside first and last name to support accurate patient identity verification, reduce misidentification errors, and ensure correct matching of ultrasound orders and results to the intended patient record.

The lower threshold value established for a sonographic imaging measurement or parameter. Used in clinical decision support to flag results falling below acceptable ranges, enabling radiologists and clinicians to identify abnormal findings requiring follow-up or intervention.

The mobile phone number associated with a sonographic imaging order, study, or patient contact record. Used in radiology scheduling and patient communication workflows to send appointment reminders, results notifications, or follow-up instructions via SMS or mobile outreach.

The unique identifier of the user who last updated a sonographic imaging record. Captured in radiology and clinical audit trails to maintain accountability, support compliance requirements, and track which clinician or technician made changes to ultrasound study data or findings.

The calendar date on which a sonographic imaging record was most recently updated. Used in radiology information systems to support audit trails, version control, and compliance reporting, ensuring that changes to ultrasound study data, findings, or orders are accurately timestamped.

The precise time at which a sonographic imaging record was most recently updated. Combined with the modified date to create a full timestamp in radiology information systems, supporting detailed audit trails and enabling chronological tracking of changes to ultrasound study records or clinical findings.

The human-readable label assigned to a sonographic imaging study, procedure type, or anatomical protocol. Used in radiology information systems and clinical workflows to identify and distinguish specific ultrasound exam types such as obstetric, abdominal, or vascular studies within ordering and reporting interfaces.

Free-text annotation or clinical commentary associated with a sonographic imaging study. Captures supplemental observations, patient preparation instructions, technical limitations, or radiologist addenda that fall outside structured data fields, providing contextual detail critical to accurate interpretation and care coordination.

The unique reference number assigned to a sonographic imaging study or order within a radiology information system. Used to track and identify individual ultrasound encounters across clinical, billing, and administrative systems, linking imaging orders to reports, results, and associated claims records.

The date on which the clinical condition, symptom, or indication prompting a sonographic imaging study first began. Captured in radiology and clinical records to establish clinical context, support diagnostic accuracy, and correlate imaging findings with the temporal progression of a patient's presenting condition.

The peripheral blood oxygen saturation level recorded in association with a sonographic imaging encounter. Captured as a vital sign during procedures such as contrast-enhanced or stress ultrasound studies where patient monitoring is required, supporting clinical safety assessment and procedural documentation within the imaging record.

The dollar amount reimbursed or paid for a sonographic imaging service by a payer, patient, or guarantor. Used in healthcare billing and revenue cycle management to reconcile claims, track payment status, and report financial performance associated with ultrasound procedures across payer contracts and reimbursement schedules.

The calendar date on which payment was received or posted for a sonographic imaging service. Used in revenue cycle management and claims reconciliation workflows to track reimbursement timelines, monitor payer performance against contract terms, and support accounts receivable reporting for ultrasound-related billing activity.

The higher-level record or entity to which a sonographic imaging study or data element belongs within a hierarchical data structure. Used in radiology and clinical information systems to associate individual ultrasound components, sub-studies, or findings with a primary order, encounter, or imaging episode for organized data management.

A proportional ratio value expressed as a percentage within a sonographic imaging context. Used to represent clinical measurements such as stenosis severity, ejection fraction estimates, or organ size comparisons derived from ultrasound findings, supporting quantitative diagnostic reporting and longitudinal tracking of patient conditions over time.

The defined time interval or duration associated with a sonographic imaging study, protocol cycle, or monitoring program. Used in radiology scheduling and longitudinal care management to specify the frequency of repeat imaging, the duration of a surveillance protocol, or the timeframe covered by a specific ultrasound assessment.

The telephone number associated with a sonographic imaging department, facility, ordering clinician, or patient contact record. Used in radiology workflows to facilitate scheduling coordination, results communication, and follow-up correspondence between imaging departments, referring providers, and patients related to ultrasound studies.

The preferred or commonly used display label for a sonographic imaging study type, protocol, or associated entity. Used in radiology information systems and clinical interfaces to present a user-friendly name that may differ from the formal or coded procedure description, improving clarity in ordering, scheduling, and reporting workflows.
