The treatment verification imaging guidelines change frequently as a result of the introduction of new technologies and processes. Also, the radiation therapists frequently make decisions based on the treatment verification images that could have a significant impact on the outcome of a patient's treatment.

For these reasons, at Radiation Oncology Network - Westmead and Blacktown campuses, the radiation therapists are required to complete a short assessment once every 2 years. This program is designed to encourage radiation therapist to revise and seek further assistance if required such as reading the work instructions and guidelines in Wiki or to receive a face to face tutorial with an expert.

Image guidance is a daily part of radiation therapy treatment and it is imperative that all staff are competent in the safety of radiation practices, understanding the rationale for imaging choice and following imaging procedures, with detailed advice for solving common problems.  Radiation therapists signing off on pre-treatment images ensures the patient has received the correct treatment and is completed under the provision of the radiation oncologist prescription.
