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.
Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses beams of intense energy to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy most often gets its power from X-rays, but the power can also come from protons or other types of energy. The term radiation therapy most often refers to external beam radiation therapy. During this type of radiation, the high-energy beams come from a machine outside of your body that aims the beams at a precise point on your body.
