A thematic exploration of patient and radiation therapist solutions to improve comfort during radiotherapy: A qualitative study (2023)
Journal Article
Goldsworthy, S., Latour, J. M., Palmer, S., McNair, H. A., & Cramp, M. (in press). A thematic exploration of patient and radiation therapist solutions to improve comfort during radiotherapy: A qualitative study. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2023.07.008

Purpose: Patients undergoing radiotherapy are positioned to restrict motion, ensuring treatment accuracy. Immobilisation can be uncomfortable which may impact treatment accuracy. Therapeutic radiographers (TR) are responsible for managing patient com...
