7. Patient set-up and staff training
Recommendations
• Adequate staff training for patient positioning with the use of
dedicated RT positioning devices is essential for PET/CT-guided
RT TP.
• Joint efforts by PET/CT imaging staff and RT technologists are
required to yield optimum quality and to reduce staff exposure.
• Relatively increased staff exposure rates should not deter from
careful patient positioning.
