The classification of ultrastructural topography in the context of an ultrastructural diagnostic service.
Ultrastructural diagnosis relies on the recognition of specific organelles and the identification of various subcellular features and relationships. As E.M. case loads increase, the recall and comparison of particular cases becomes increasingly difficult. A system of classification is proposed, in a format compatible with SNOP and SNOMED, which permits the precise coding of subcellular details. Such a system could assist in the classification of disease, the storage and analysis of data and the retrieval and study of case material on an inter-departmental basis.
