  3. Treatment Planning:
    • Collaborate with oncologists and medical physicists to review and implement treatment plans, ensuring accurate radiation delivery.
    • Assist in the design and planning of patient-specific treatment techniques, ensuring the treatment area is clearly identified.

    • Make adjustments to treatment plans if necessary, based on patient progress or changes in condition.
  4. Quality Control and Equipment Maintenance:
    • Operate and maintain radiation therapy equipment, including linear accelerators, imaging devices, and dosimetry equipment.
    • Conduct daily equipment checks to ensure proper function and calibration of radiation delivery systems.
    • Report any equipment malfunctions or issues to the physicist or supervisor and follow up to ensure timely resolution.
    • Adhere to safety protocols to prevent radiation exposure to staff, patients, and others in the vicinity.
  5. Patient Monitoring and Follow-up:
    • Monitor patients throughout the treatment process, observing for any signs of complications or reactions to the radiation therapy.
    • Take accurate measurements of patient responses and progress, ensuring that treatment is proceeding according to plan.
    • Record treatment data, including radiation doses, machine settings, and other relevant information in the patient's medical record.
    • Provide follow-up instructions to patients, including guidelines for managing side effects and when to seek further medical care if necessary.
  6. Documentation and Record Keeping:
    • Maintain accurate, up-to-date patient records, including treatment plans, progress notes, and details of each radiation session.
    • Ensure proper documentation of treatment sessions, radiation doses, and any adjustments made to the treatment plan.
    • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and hospital protocols for patient confidentiality and documentation.
  7. Adherence to Safety Standards:
    • Follow strict radiation safety protocols to minimize exposure to patients, themselves, and other staff members.
    • Wear appropriate protective equipment, including dosimeters, to monitor radiation exposure.
    • Stay up-to-date on safety standards, ensuring compliance with both local regulations and industry best practices.
    • Maintain a clean and safe work environment, adhering to infection control and safety protocols.
  8. Collaboration with the Healthcare Team:
    • Work closely with oncologists, nurses, medical physicists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care.
    • Attend regular team meetings to discuss patient progress, treatment outcomes, and any issues that may arise during therapy.
    • Provide support to patients and their families, answering questions and addressing concerns about radiation therapy and its effects.
