A typical day
Start early with machine warm-up and quality checks before the first patient. Then treatments, one after another: greet the patient, position them exactly as the plan says, take a verification image with CT (computed tomography) or x-ray, step outside, deliver the beam, record it. Between patients you note side effects, flag anything for the doctor and reset the room. A full day of treatments is normal, and you know most of those people by name.
