    3DThree DimensionalDose calculated with projection onto 3D imaging (e.g., CT or MR) delivered with either static aperture (Collimator, SRS Cone, Static MLC, blocks, etc) or non-IMRT/VMAT dynamic apertures (e.g., field-in-field, dynamic arc) using either single gantry angles or arcs.
    PPSParticle Passive ScatteringIn proton or carbon ion beam therapy, a technique where the beam is spread out to larger dimension using a scattering device such as lead foil.
    PSSParticle Spot ScanningIn proton or carbon ion beam therapy, a technique where accelerated particles are focused into a small beam and then moved (scanned) over target regions in the patient.
    MIXMixedBoth photon and particle based beams are used to deliver the radiation therapy.
    CAV-IMBIntracavitary, Intensity ModulatedA technique of brachytherapy that dynamically directs the radiation into the tumours and away from healthy tissue, for example, by incorporation of metallic shields inside brachytherapy applicators.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
