Description
Label a tissue measurement's supplied axis and unit.
Pathology records connect specimens, blocks, slides, anatomical sites, processing timestamps and report versions. A recorded piece balance differs from verified tissue completeness, while cold-ischemia and fixation intervals describe distinct stages. Metadata and labels do not establish specimen adequacy, diagnosis, safe handling or report validity.
Label a tissue measurement's supplied axis and unit.
When to use this tool
Use Tissue Measurement Unit Basis when you already have specimenId, value, unitText, measurementAxis and need to label a tissue measurement's supplied axis and unit.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter specimenId, value, unitText, measurementAxis. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty specimenId/unitText/measurementAxis and value>=0; format specimen; axis=value unit.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| specimenId | Specimen Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| value | Value | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| unitText | Unit Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| measurementAxis | Measurement Axis | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

},
"output": {
"label": "S17; length=12 mm"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No specimen, orientation, measurement accuracy, diagnosis or clinical significance is evaluated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile original accession, cassette, block and slide records when tracing a specimen. Review the full processing timeline and controlled report history for adequacy and version questions; a local count residual or displayed amendment label does not verify them.
