Technological advances in radiation therapy impact on the role and scope of practice of the radiation therapist. The European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) recently held two workshops on this topic and this position paper reflects the outcome of this workshop, which included radiation therapists from all global regions. Workflows, quality assurance, research, IGRT and ART as well as clinical decision making are the areas of radiation therapist practice that will be highly influenced by advancing technology in the near future. This position paper captures the opportunities that this will bring to the radiation therapist profession, to the practice of radiation therapy and ultimately to patient care.
放射治疗的技术进步影响着放射治疗师的角色和实践范围。欧洲放射治疗与肿瘤学会（ESTRO）最近就这一主题举办了两次研讨会，本立场文件反映了此次研讨会的成果，参会人员包括来自全球所有地区的放射治疗师。工作流程、质量保证、研究、图像引导放射治疗（IGRT）和自适应放射治疗（ART）以及临床决策制定是放射治疗师实践领域，在不久的将来，这些领域将受到技术进步的高度影响。本立场文件阐述了这将给放射治疗师职业、放射治疗实践以及最终给患者护理带来的机遇。
