Virtual Simulation of Bone Metastases by a Dedicated Palliative Radiation Therapist: A Retrospective Comparison Pilot Study.

Purpose: In interdisciplinary teams, members may take on responsibilities usually performed by others to enhance patient care. In the Rapid Access Palliative Radiotherapy Program, a dedicated radiation therapist (MRT[T]) participates in clinical assessments, team conferences, patient education, simulation, treatment delivery, and follow-up. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of virtual simulation performed by an MRT(T) experienced in treating bone metastases within this specialized clinic.
