The Bachelor of Science in Radiotherapy (B.Sc. RT) (Hons) is an undergraduate degree program that focuses on the training in Radiation therapy used for cancer treatment through the use of advanced technology and procedures. During the program, students learn about various aspects of radiotherapy, including Anatomy and Physiology of Human Body Systems, Radiobiology, Principles of Radiotherapy, Medical Physics, Radiation Safety and Protection, Instrumentation, Dosimetry, along with patient preparation & care. They also gain hands-on experience in using therapeutic equipment such as linear accelerator and brachytherapy machines, CT simulator. Upon completion of the program, graduates are equipped with the skills and knowledge required to work as radiotherapy technologists in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. They work alongside medical physicist, radiation oncologist, radiological safety officer, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to perform procedures such as radiation therapy treatment, CT simulation, patient counselling and assist in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
This programme focusses on creating a cadre of individuals that would be in a position to competently assist the oncologist, to cater to the branch of Radiotherapy globally. Given the increasing rates of cancer across the globe; there is need for effective radiation treatment strategies & well-trained radiation technologists to manage cancer. The programme has a synergistic blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skilling in the radiotherapy field to train potential technologists to be knowledgeable and skilled in:
  1. Set ups required for different types of treatment like Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT), Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)/ Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), Total Body Irradiation (TBI)
  2. Digitally Reconstructed Radiography (DRR) matching, applying couch shifts, use of various beam modifying devices dosimetry calculations
  3. Quality Assurance tests for A linear accelerator (LINAC) and brachytherapy
  4. Treatment Planning systems (TPS)
These students would be in a position to competently assist the Physician, to cater to the branch of Radiotherapy globally.
