Who is a dosimetrist?

A dosimetrist is a healthcare professional who works with the radiation oncologist and the radiation physicist to calculate the amount (dose) of radiation you will receive during your treatment. The specialty of determining the appropriate dose of radiation — to maximize the effectiveness and minimize the side effects of radiation therapy — is called dosimetry.
