    Code Descriptions

    Common Usage Name Definition SNOMED CT Fully Specified Name SNOMED CT Concept ID
    Intracavitary Placement of a radiation source within an open cavity of the body. Intracavitary brachytherapy (procedure) 384692006
    Intracavitary, Intensity Modulated A 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. Intensity modulated intracavitary brachytherapy (procedure) 1156382005
    Interstitial Placement of a radiation source into tissue. Interstitial brachytherapy (procedure) 113120007
    Intravascular Placement of a radiation source into a blood vessel or blood vascular system or vascular injection of radiopharmaceutical. Intravascular brachytherapy (procedure) 1156383000
    Intraluminal Placement of a radiation source into a lumen, usually understood to mean the gastrointestinal, esophageal, endobrochial, or less commonly, within the bile duct or urinary bladder. Intraluminal brachytherapy (procedure) 384691004
    Intraoperative Radiation Therapy A radiation treatment administered during surgery. Radiotherapy - intraoperative control (procedure) 168524008

    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
