What Does a Radiation Therapist Do? Unlike radiologic technologists who utilize x-rays for diagnostic purposes, radiation therapists are trained to deliver high doses of ionizing radiation to specific areas of the patientâs body for the treatment of disease, specifically cancer.
Planning, or dosimetry is where the radiation therapist uses the data gathered during simulation to plan the patientâs treatment. This is usually done on the computer. The oncologist will indicate where the treatment needs to be delivered and what dose of radiation the patient will receive.ometimes a radiation therapist is called a therapeutic radiographer. A radiation therapist will work under the guidance of a Radiation Oncologist, in a team of health professionals who care for and treat cancer patients.
