What do Radiation Therapy Radiologic Technologists do?
Radiation Therapy Radiologic Technologists administer high-energy radiation to treat cancer and other diseases by operating specialized equipment, positioning patients, and closely monitoring their treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Their work involves collaborating with other specialists, such as radiation oncologists, explaining procedures to patients, and accurately documenting treatment details.
Responsibilities
Patient Care: They position patients for therapy, apply immobilization devices as necessary, and review procedures and potential side effects of treatment with patients.
Equipment Operation: They operate advanced equipment, such as linear accelerators, which deliver radiation to cancer cells, and may also utilize simulation, radiographic, and film processing equipment.
Treatment Planning: They work with medical dosimetrists and radiation oncologists to discuss treatment plans, verify equipment setup, and ensure the correct dosage of radiation is delivered.
Monitoring and Safety: Technologists meticulously monitor patients during treatment for unexpected reactions, maintain and calibrate radiation equipment, and follow strict radiation safety protocols.
Documentation: They record all delivered dosage values, creating detailed records for accurate tracking and continuity of care.
Collaboration and Communication
Interdisciplinary Team: Radiation therapy technologists play a vital role in the oncology team, collaborating closely with radiation oncologists, medical dosimetrists, radiation physicists, and oncology nurses.
Patient Communication: They often serve as the primary point of contact for patients, explaining complex procedures, addressing concerns, and providing essential information on skin and dietary care during their treatment.
Specialized Equipment
They also utilize simulation equipment for planning and may use specialized film processing equipment.
Radiation therapists primarily use machines called linear accelerators, which direct high-energy X-rays at targeted cancer cells.
