Your treatment team at UCHealth will be made up of many specialized medical professionals and radiation oncologists. It will typically include:
A medical radiation physicist to ensure proper delivery of the right dose of radiation.
A neurologist to consider treatment options and if you may benefit from the procedure.
A physicist who will use a special software to calculate the radiation exposure and beam configuration as part of your treatment plan.
A radiation oncologist, who will outline the areas to treat, identify tissues at risk, decide the proper dose of radiation for the treatment plan, and interpret the results of your procedure. They may be led by a neurosurgeon.
A radiation therapist to position you properly and to operate the machinery as part of your treatment.
A radiologist who will interpret the imaging tests to help identify the treatment areas.
A stereotactic radiotherapy nurse to assess your needs and provide information before, during, and after treatment.
