Joel Christopher Lorenzo
My clinical observation took place at CHI Health Saint Elizabeth in Lincoln, NE. I was able to schedule my observation hours thanks to the lead dosimetrist Nicole Lafleur who may be contacted at (402) 219-7930. My observation was from 7am to 12pm. During this time, I was able to see the equipment, patient care and tasks the therapists were involved in.
Upon arrival one of the technologists began the daily quality assurance tests going down a checklist that ranged from heating up the machine at various MeV levels to checking field size, laser alignment and automatic table positioning.
I was able to observe a variety of treatments
All the patients I observed for treatment were adult outpatients. The exams were as follow:
• Knee
• Pelvis
• Prostate x2
• Breast x3
• CT simulation
The accuracy of the radiation treatment is ensured
Radiation safety is demonstrated in the department through proper planning
I do believe i have the physical capabilities to perform all tasks the radiation therapists encounter on a daily basis.
