In this procedure, the provider places a catheter within the cancerous tissue (interstitial) or within the body cavity (intracavitary), loaded with a high energy radioactive substance to treat the tumors. The procedure includes dose calculation (dosimetry) of the radioactive substance before loading into the catheter, when performed. Use this code for each fraction or portion that the provider delivers of the planned total dose.
