ISO-MME

Hello there,

Continuing with codes dedicated to specific human body parts, I would like to code for the Head:
- External Auditody Meatus (EAM)
- Infra-Orbitale (IO)
The digits into braket are commonly used in the field.

- Infra-Orbitale
IO is not taken in the MME standard (could go after HEAD in fine location 1)
Example: S1HEADIOLECDDSXV
Or we create a new 4-digit for Head External Auditory Meatus : HEAM
Example: S1HEAMLE00CDDSXV

- External Auditody Meatus (EAM)
EAM is 3 digits, and could be converted in AM + OU for outer (External) but we will miss digits to specify the side (LE/RI) as the last fine location slot would be taken to specify the surrogate. We coudl get rid of OU as the most common used landmarks is the EAM not the IAM (internal AM). So AM+LE/RI.
Example: S1HEADAMLECDDSXV
Or we create a new 4-digit for Head External InfraOrbitale : HEIO
Example: S1HEIOLE00CDDSXV

- Also for Post Mortem Human Subject tests (PMHS, or PMTO), the digits CA in fine location 3 were proposed in a draft in 2012. We are currently used "CD" to harmonize with NHTSA.

Do not hesitate to react and share your preference for the each of the 3 items (IO, EAM, CD).

Many thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Dear Matthieu,

thank you for providing your new topic for coding requirements on HBM tests.
As your requirements are relative specific, i would prefer to go for new main locations (ML, 4digit).
It would also help to have a sketch of the exact location to be able to visualize this in some HMB figures later.

If you go for new ML, you will have all the fine locations available for detail information.
As far as I understood you can code your requirements with the existing FL1 and FL2 codes(?).

FL3 Code:
" We are currently used "CD" to harmonize with NHTSA.":
It is a good idea to harmonize. In the current database there is nothing
implemented from the 2012 proposal and the coding would be available: For the other forum member I have here a snapshot from the draft version provided in the Humos2 Project in 2012: What stands "CD for in the NHTSA context?

We can discuss this on the next meeting. I could not find the appointment in my calender, but will
talk to Klaas Ebel (our chairman for the group) and inform you.
Will you normally receive the invitations for the ISO MME Task Force meetings (online)?

Kind regards,
Dirk
