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, also called radiation treatment, is a form of treatment where high energy particles or waves, such as gamma rays, are projected onto the area of the body where cancer is present to destroy cancer cells. It is utilized in treatment of cancers such as breast cancer, lung cancer and head and neck cancer. It often follows surgery and chemotherapy, but may be given by itself. Radiation therapy is always delivered at a particular intensity and energy level.
