Anatomy Mapper ® terminology and maps are recognized as an international standard; The standardized surface topography terms are presented in a hierarchical lexicon and have been adopted into the World Health Organization's ICD-11. "ICD-ST"  ("Surface Topgraphy"):

"ICD-ST" represents years of international collaboration to validate a hierarchical surface topography lexicon.  "ICD-ST" represented on AnatomyMapper.com is labeled as such with permission from the World Health Organization. The standardized terminology was used as the foundational lexicon to derive "Surface Topography" in the International Classification of Diseases 11th revision, ICD-11.

ABOUT the NYU Labeling System
Originally drawn in the early 1970's under the auspices of Dr. Alfred Kopf for the New York University Melanoma Clinical Cooperative Group, this numbering system allowed clinicians to easily identify areas of the body in a standardized way for lesion tracking over time. As of 2015, it is still used in numerous large health systems today, including but not limited to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Cleveland Clinic, and Mayo Clinic.
