Radiation therapists use imaging like cone beam CT or X-rays overlaid with planning images to ensure accurate patient setup.

“the therapist job we have a radiation therapist who actually positions the patient in the room they get them in position they take a picture X-ray first either a cone beam CT which is a lowd do CT or just a a a PA and a lateral film and we actually overlay that with our planning imaging to make sure that the original reference from the planning day matches today's image and the beams the the machines will actually superimpose the daily image with the reference image so everything is automatic”
