|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
