6.2.7.1. View Code Sequence (0054,0220)

Recommended. SHOULD be specified, if known. Only one value is allowed.

The projection of the anatomic region of interest on an image receptor.

Note

Use one of the lateral projections for photographs of the buccal (cheek) region.

Buccal projection is not present in SNOMED-CT, but there are various lateral projections. Buccal (intended site) SCT 763825005 in the anatomic region sequence is enough to specify un-ambiguosly that this photograph is a buccal view.

6.2.7.2. View Modifier Code Sequence (0054,0222)

Photographs in orthodontics are not always taken directly: sometimes there is a device between the patient and the camera lens, like a mirror, to be able to see specific regions.

Table CID DDDD. VL View Modifier

code scheme designator	code value	code meaning	notes
SCT	789135000	Mirrored visible image uncorrected
SCT	789134001	Mirrored visible image uncorrected flipped horizontally	Light from anatomy is reflected on a mirror before reaching camera lens. Image has been flipped horizontally by image acquisition device.
SCT	789132002	Mirrored visible image uncorrected flipped horizontally and vertically	Light from anatomy is reflected on a mirror before reaching camera lens. Image has been flipped horizontally and vertically by image acquisition device.
SCT	789133007	Mirrored visible image uncorrected flipped vertically	Light from anatomy is reflected on a mirror before reaching camera lens. Image has been flipped vertically by image acquisition device.
