Abstract

This is an exciting time for all of us who are interested in developments in therapeutic radiography/radiation therapy. It is a fascinating challenge to keep abreast of transformational shifts in theory and practice such as the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), increased personalisation and stratification of cancer treatments based on genomics and patient risk, the expansion of particle therapies, MR Linacs and online adaptive radiotherapy. Radiotherapy educational programmes must continually evolve to reflect, and seek to influence, key areas of development whilst emphasising the central patient care role that radiographers play as they operate at the interface of the human and the technological. Radiography aims to contribute to the professional understanding and debate within therapeutic radiography by publishing articles that address the important issues in clinical, scientific, educational, and professional practice.
