    • Operate and maintain radiation therapy equipment, including linear accelerators, imaging devices, and dosimetry equipment.
    • Conduct daily equipment checks to ensure proper function and calibration of radiation delivery systems.
    • Report any equipment malfunctions or issues to the physicist or supervisor and follow up to ensure timely resolution.
    • Adhere to safety protocols to prevent radiation exposure to staff, patients, and others in the vicinity.
  • Patient Monitoring and Follow-up
    • Monitor patients throughout the treatment process, observing for any signs of complications or reactions to the radiation therapy.
    • Take accurate measurements of patient responses and progress, ensuring that treatment is proceeding according to plan.
