RADIATION TECHNOLOGISTS-CANCER-LESSON 117
This is the treatment of ailment by means of also an external source of high-energy beams like photons, protons, and gamma rays. They are on the inside embedded radioactive substances. These radioactive waves and particles are helpful in destructing the cancer cells in the body especially the DNA of those cells and stopping the progress of their development.
There are variable human resource people concerned in this medical field. A doctor who specializes in diagnostic radiology is called radiologist. A doctor who dedicates himself in the practice of management of investigative nuclear medicine course of action is called nuclear physician. A physician who is specialized in practice of radiotherapy is called radiation oncologist or radiotherapist.
Allied health care professionals who work with physicians in the fields of radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy are called radiologic technologists. Radiologic technologists can be divided into three categories such as:
1. Radiographers.
2. Nuclear medicine technologist.
3. Radiation therapy technologist.
Now we will see one by one.
Radiographer is an aide to physicians who manages investigative course of action.
Nuclear medicine technologist is a person who focusses on patients who goes through nuclear medicine methods and control devices under the direction of a nuclear physician. Radiation therapy technologist is a person who delivers course of radiation therapy prescribed by a radiotherapist.
