When users of your AIM template answer template questions, you can offer a list of standardized terms from a lexicon for their answers. These terms are called answer choices in ATB 2.0 but were called allowed terms in ATB 1.1. You can associate answer choices with Anatomic Entity, Imaging Observation, and Inference components, and Anatomic Entity and Imaging Observation characteristics.
Once you create an answer choice, you can add more answer choices under it hierarchically. This allows you to create new concepts, also called post-coordinated terms, from existing answer choices.
The number of answer choices you add must be equal or greater than the maximum number of answer choices you specify when you add a characteristic to a component. |
The answer choice appears in the Answer Choices list in the right panel, as shown below. Relevant steps in the selection of this answer choice are highlighted in red.
Adjust your view of the information in multiple panels by clicking and dragging the border between them. |
Click Save.
The answer choice appears in the Template Components panel under the component or characteristic you originally selected.
