Radiation Therapist

Published: Friday, March 09, 2007

Radiation therapists plan and deliver radiation treatments according to the prescription of the radiation oncologist. They have expert knowledge of treatment principles and calculations required for safe and accurate treatment delivery. Radiation therapists have a fundamental role in managing your care while you are receiving radiation therapy. The radiation therapist will have daily contact with you throughout the treatment program and your well-being is their major focus. They will guide you through treatment providing education and support, and will provide links to other heath care professionals as required.
