LOINC Code 60849-7: Beta frequency relative power on EEG

60849-7 is a LOINC code used to identify Beta frequency relative power on EEG in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Power spectrum.beta frequency/Power spectrum.total. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Cerebral cortex.
