| Common Usage Name | Definition | SNOMED CT Fully Specified Name | SNOMED CT Concept ID | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy - Temporary Placement | Radiation treatment that irradiates a treatment volume with temporarily placed radiation sources delivering low dose rates (typically less than or equal to 2 Gy/hour). | Low dose rate brachytherapy using temporary radioactive source (procedure) | 1156708005 | 
| Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy - Permanent Placemet | Radiation treatment that irradiates a treatment volume with permanently placed radiation sources delivering low dose rates (typically less than or equal to 2 Gy/hour). | Internal radiotherapy - permanent seeds (procedure) | 169359004 | 
| Pulsed Dose Rate Brachytherapy | Internal or surface radiation treatment that irradiates a treatment volume in short pulses (typically 10 to 30 minutes in every hour) with a stronger source than low dose rate brachytherapy (typically treatment rates up to 3 Gy/hour). | Pulsed dose rate brachytherapy (procedure) | 1156384006 | 
| High Dose Rate Brachytherapy | Internal or surface radiation treatment that irradiates a treatement volume with high dose rates of radiation (typically greater than 12 Gy/hour). | High dose brachytherapy (procedure) | 394902000 | 
| Electronic Brachytherapy | A modality of internal or surface radiation that uses X-ray sources instead of radionuclides to deliver high rates of radiation. | High dose rate electronic brachytherapy (procedure) | 438629002 | 
| Radiopharmaceutical Therapy | The use of radioactive drugs that can be given by mouth, infused, or injected. | Administration of radiopharmaceutical (procedure) | 440252007 |

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 | 
| System | 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 |
