Occupation context

These O*NET tasks describe the occupation. They provide context for this SOC mapping, but do not mean every listed Skill performs every task.

Design the arrangement of radiation fields to reduce exposure to critical patient structures, such as organs, using computers, manuals, and guides.
Plan the use of beam modifying devices, such as compensators, shields, and wedge filters, to ensure safe and effective delivery of radiation treatment.
Identify and outline bodily structures, using imaging procedures, such as x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or positron emission tomography.

Representative sources

A bounded sample of popular skills mapped to this occupation, with at most one Skill from each GitHub repository. The complete mapped list follows.

managing-radiation-dose

Tracks and optimizes radiation exposure using reference levels and ALARA principles. Use when monitoring radiation dose, optimizing CT protocols, or documenting dose reduction efforts.

medical-dosimetrist

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of a medical dosimetrist — designing an IMRT/VMAT beam arrangement and optimization objectives, resolving a PTV-coverage-vs-OAR-constraint conflict, evaluating a DVH and isodose distribution before physician sign-off, triaging a failed patient-specific QA, or writing a plan directive for therapy handoff. US radiation oncology default (AAPM/ASTRO practice norms).

huifer/wellally-health-skills

Reference data for medical radiation dose calculation including standard doses, decay models, and safety thresholds.

aitrium-radiotherapy

NewLeaf-ai/aitrium-radiotherapy

Inspects radiotherapy DICOM studies, computes DVH metrics, and runs policy-driven metadata anonymization using rt_inspect, rt_dvh, rt_dvh_metrics, and rt_anonymize_metadata.
