ATOMIC
Design the arrangement of radiation fields to reduce exposure to critical patient structures, such as organs, using computers, manuals, and guides.
ATOMIC
Plan the use of beam modifying devices, such as compensators, shields, and wedge filters, to ensure safe and effective delivery of radiation treatment.
ATOMIC
Identify and outline bodily structures, using imaging procedures, such as x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or positron emission tomography.
ATOMIC
Calculate the delivery of radiation treatment, such as the amount or extent of radiation per session, based on the prescribed course of radiation therapy.
ATOMIC
Calculate, or verify calculations of, prescribed radiation doses.
ATOMIC
Develop radiation treatment plans in consultation with members of the radiation oncology team.
ATOMIC
Supervise or perform simulations for tumor localizations, using imaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or positron emission tomography scans.
ATOMIC
Create and transfer reference images and localization markers for treatment delivery, using image-guided radiation therapy.
ATOMIC
Record patient information, such as radiation doses administered, in patient records.
ATOMIC
Advise oncology team members on use of beam modifying or immobilization devices in radiation treatment plans.
ATOMIC
Fabricate beam modifying devices, such as compensators, shields, and wedge filters.
ATOMIC
Perform quality assurance system checks, such as calibrations, on treatment planning computers.
ATOMIC
Fabricate patient immobilization devices, such as molds or casts, for radiation delivery.
ATOMIC
Develop requirements for the use of patient immobilization devices and positioning aides, such as molds or casts, as part of treatment plans to ensure accurate delivery of radiation and comfort of patient.
ATOMIC
Teach medical dosimetry, including its application, to students, radiation therapists, or residents.
ATOMIC
Conduct radiation oncology-related research, such as improving computer treatment planning systems or developing new treatment devices.
ATOMIC
Develop treatment plans, and calculate doses for brachytherapy procedures.
ATOMIC
Measure the amount of radioactivity in patients or equipment, using radiation monitoring devices.
