Radiographers are responsible for the preparation and performance of safe and accurate high-energy radiation treatments, using a wide range of sophisticated irradiation and imaging equipment and techniques, this includes:
• optimising the patient position and production of individual immobilisation as required
• using simulation to collect data/ information to identify the target volume and organs at risk using appropriate imaging modalities
• treatment planning to achieve an optimal dose distribution in the target volume and organs at risk
• verification of the treatment plan, patient set-up and daily verification of patient positioning
