| name | Dimension [Length] of Specimen | ||
| description | The size of a specimen may be recorded in two or more linear measurements (dimensions), e.g. length and width. Each dimension can be recorded by repeating this term. Specimen dimensions enable comparison with clinical and imaging estimates of volume. To record only the length of a specimen, use "Specimen length" [LOINC: 33723-8]. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Prostate Cancer (Radical Prostatectomy) Structured Reporting Protocol (2nd Edition, 2014) developed by the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) for structured reporting of prostate cancer. | ||
