MRS Week: Radiation Therapist – TBRHSC Communications

In recognition of Medical Radiation Sciences Week, check out this trivia.

Radiation Therapy: Jessica Davies MRT(T))

Today we are highlighting the Radiation Therapist, as a key member of the cancer treatment team. They are directly responsible for the administration of a prescribed dose of radiation. The Radiation Therapist must have the knowledge to interpret the radiation treatment prescription, determine its appropriateness, counsel the patient regarding side effects and monitor the patient’s physical and psychological wellbeing during the entire course of treatment.

Thank you to our Hospital’s Radiation Therapists for your hard work and dedication to the science of medical imaging!
