KUB Related Name

I was looking up the LOINC code for a KUB, and while I was able to find the code I was looking for using the related names, I noticed a great deal of other AP view x-rays resulted with that same related name that did not seem related to a KUB. There seems to be a pattern of (almost) all AP view x-rays having KUB/Kidney-Ureter-Bladder as a related name. I just found this odd and worth noting in case I was missing something. A sampling of the codes that resulted in my search is below.

Thanks for any guidance you might be able to provide as to why these terms have KUB as a related name.

Hello Renee,

Let me try again - you are absolutely correct that the related name KUB should not be associated with all of these AP View x-rays. Thank you for your report and we are working on a correction for the next release.
