This course manages the areas of medical science and radio diagnosis through radiation therapy..

The Diploma in Radiotherapy Technology is a radiography course that teaches about radiotherapy, therefore called radiation treatment, which is the therapy of malignant growth and different illnesses with ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation stores energy that harms or annihilates cells in the space being dealt with (the objective tissue) by harming their hereditary material, making it unthinkable for these cells to keep on developing. Radiotherapy might be utilized to treat restricted strong tumors, like malignant growths of the skin, tongue, larynx, cerebrum, bosom, or uterine cervix. It can likewise be utilized to treat leukemia and lymphoma (malignant growths of the blood-framing cells and lymphatic framework, individually). The course gives many occupation choices after its consummation alongside additional investigations.

This course manages the areas of medical science and radio diagnosis through radiation therapy. It is especially beneficial for those students who are interested and are willing to spend the time and energy to understand this complex discipline. The course equips a student with various clinical strategies and genuine medical procedures to ward off lethal illnesses like cancer, inward body wounds and sicknesses, and so on. This program is itself a clinical commitment to the general public to support humankind and particularly for the study and development of clinical instruments to analyze deadly illnesses that are otherwise untreatable. While pursuing this course, one will learn both the real and hypothetical parts of radiology therapy and diverse analysis systems chosen by radiologists and radiotherapy physicians. They can likewise gain proficiency with the different spaces of radiology including biology, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and so forth. The course follows a detailed system of understanding and studying in the process where one can study and systematically understand topics. The course initially covers topics that help provide a fundamental understanding of medicine and hence cover major points on the basics of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and biostatistics to name a few. It then educates about clinical radiation generators, Radioactive Isotopes. Radioactivity and nuclear reactions, systems of dosimetry calculations. Followed by radiography techniques, assessment, and referral systems of radiotherapy. Intravenous Therapy. Radiological procedures, Radiotherapy treatment techniques. Cardiac Procedures Chemotherapy, Brachytherapy, treatment planning, and isodose curves. The final aspect of the course teaches Radiation Therapy Physics, Radiation Protection, Principles of radiotherapy, Radiation Hazards, Measures for Protection from Radiation. Nebulizer Therapy. They then study instruments such an ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, screening, and prevention of cancer. Quality assurance in radiotherapy, regulatory requirement. Instrumentation Study, Instrument Measurement & Critical Care Equipment. 

The course is a two-year undergraduate diploma course that seeks the minimum qualification of a senior school certification in physics, chemistry, and mathematics or biology. The course provides job opportunities like working in nursing homes, hospitals, diagnosis centers, medical colleges, etc. They can work as X-ray technicians, radiation therapy technologists, radiation protection specialists, and diagnostic radiographers. They can also work as an administrative medical officer or as nuclear medicine technologists, which would be a research speciality, and also as a radiation oncologist radiation therapist teacher and lecturer. The research opportunities for this course are tremendous and would be useful and lifesaving if graduates are interested to indulge in that.
