J SNOMED Retired Codes
This Annex identifies coded terms specified in earlier versions of the Standard. These coded terms are retired. Some of the codes conflict with codes defined in SNOMED. Additionally, some SNOMED coded terms specified in earlier versions of the Standard have been retired and replaced by SNOMED to avoid ambiguities in concept, and are noted here as well.
Implementers of the Standard are cautioned that:
•some of the codes noted as retired are still valid (active) SNOMED codes, but with different meanings; it is thus the combination of code and meaning that is retired
•not all of the codes that SNOMED International may have inactivated in any past, current or future SNOMED CT release have yet been retired from DICOM
•some applications may continue to send retired codes with the meaning defined in this Annex
•the retired codes may be associated with coding scheme designator 99SDM, SNM3 or SRT
•retired codes may be encountered in existing SOP Instances stored in archives
•applications receiving SOP Instances should continue to support retired codes with the meaning defined in this Annex
•some applications may not trigger expected behavior (e.g., hanging protocols, image processing) when receiving SOP Instances with the replacement codes
•DICOM applications and SOP Instances shall never use the retired codes with a meaning other than that defined in this Annex
•in some cases, the choice of replacement code for a retired code depends on the context of its use, and so one retired code may map to more than one replacement code
