Treatment Sites in the Head, Neck, and Craniospinal Regions is a continuing education (CE) course for radiation therapists that provides advanced radiation therapy training for stereotactic and conventional irradiation for tumors located in the head, neck, and craniospinal regions. It covers the advantages and disadvantages of different radiation treatment techniques, including external beam, 3D conformal, IMRT, and stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery and brachytherapy, and addresses the symptoms associated with malignant cancers related to each organ.
This course details the responsibilities of each member of the healthcare team, including the radiation therapist, radiation oncologist, nurse, and physicist. In addition, the course covers clinical components, namely the treatment procedure in its entirety, including possible patient positions, accessories, and position verification options for each treatment site. Finally, this course provides training in how to effectively advocate for patients, how to relay patient side effects, and how to work out possible treatments with other members of the healthcare team to minimize and limit these side effects. This course is approved by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) for 2.00 Category A CE Credits.
